I've expanded a bit on your suggestion to use a separate Staff/Voice to carry
the pedal marks. This will need some refinement, but it seems to do the trick:
<<
\new Staff
\with {
\override VerticalAxisGroup.staff-staff-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 1)
(minimum-distance . 1)
(padding . 1))
} {
\new Voice {
\relative c' {
f,, f' f, f''
\repeat unfold 8 { f f' f, f'' }
f,, f,, f f''
}
}
}
\new Staff
\with {
\remove Staff_symbol_engraver
\remove Clef_engraver
\remove Time_signature_engraver
} {
\new Voice {
\set Staff.pedalSustainStyle = #'mixed
\repeat unfold 5 { s s\sustainOn s s s\sustainOff s s }
s s\sustainOn s s s\sustainOff
}
}
