Subject: pedal markings in dynamic context


hi,

i have a question regarding the spacing of dynamic contexts. given the following (contrived for simplicity) snippet:

[snip snippet]

this is a very simplified example, but it highlights the problem. is there any way to make the pedal markings in bar 1-2 and on beat 3 of bar 3 closer to the staff? i have attached a screen shot of a real world example -- bar 3 is particularly bad in this case, and i'd prefer to have the pedal markings closer to the staff.

i know i could twiddle the Y-offset for the given bar, but i have a gut feeling that it might be possible to move the whole dynamic line closer to the staff and let the pedal markings on the lowest notes drop below the "normal" line.

That's the point of a dynamics context. From the NR: "Pedal indications may be placed in a Dynamics context, which aligns them on a horizontal line."

Why not use a separate voice?

\score {
 <<
   \new Staff {
   <<
     \new Voice \music
     \new Voice \pedals
   >>
   }
 >>
}
