Here's another example from the LilyPond regression tests. This was
added by Han-Wen in 2004. I don't know myself if the hyphen is found
in published music, but I'm pretty sure Han-Wen only added features he
found in respected scores. Here's what he added:
\version "2.17.6"
\header
{
texidoc = "The standard piano pedals style comes with Ped symbols.
The pedal string can be also tuned, for example, to a shorter tilde/P variant
at the end of the melody."
}
\context Staff \relative c'{
c4 d e f g
\sustainOn b c
c, d16[ c c c] e[ e \sustainOff \sustainOn e e ] f4 \sustainOff
g\sustainOn b \sustainOff c
\set Staff.pedalSustainStrings = #'("-" "-P" "P")
\override Staff.SustainPedal.padding = #-2
c, \sustainOn d e \sustainOff \sustainOn f
\sustainOff g b c
}
