| 16 | Piano pedal marks are somewhat different than |
| 17 | <A HREF="textmark.html">other similar Mup statements.</A> |
| 18 | Rather than having begintime, text, and duration, each |
| 19 | item is just a time offset value, plus an optional "*". If no pedal mark |
| 20 | is currently in progress, the first time offset value indicates where the |
| 21 | pedal is depressed. Any subsequent pedal items on that staff will then |
| 22 | indicate a "blip"--lifting and then immediately depressing the pedal |
| 23 | (which is indicated on the printed music by a "^"), unless there is a "*", |
| 24 | in which case it means to lift the pedal and leave it up. |
