13Piano pedal marks

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