My scores often have broken pedal indications, and when they don’t line up 
along a single system it’s very visually distracting. That’s one of the (many) 
reasons I like keeping my pedal indications in a separate variable, and engrave 
them in a separate context.

As always, YMMV.  ;)

Cheers,
Kieren.
