+Piano pedal marks
+</H2>
+<P>
+Piano pedal marks are somewhat different than
+<A HREF="textmark.html">other similar Mup statements.</A>
+Rather than having begintime, text, and duration, each
+item is just a time offset value, plus an optional "*". If no pedal mark
+is currently in progress, the first time offset value indicates where the
+pedal is depressed. Any subsequent pedal items on that staff will then
+indicate a "blip"--lifting and then immediately depressing the pedal
+(which is indicated on the printed music by a "^"), unless there is a "*",
+in which case it means to lift the pedal and leave it up.

+Some examples may help:

+1: c;d;e;2.g;
+2: 1.ceg;
+// depress pedal on beat 1, release on 3
+pedal 2: 1; 3*;
+bar
+
+1: g;d;e;f;g;;
+2: 1.gdb-;
+// depress pedal on 2, release and depress
+// on 4, release on 6
+pedal below 2: 2; 4; 6*;
