You can change the global level for individual sustain pedal lines and show the level as a prefix before the pedal line start sign, such as “1/2 Ped.”. For example, to indicate a pianist should only half depress the sustain pedal throughout a piece.
By default, the global level of sustain pedal lines is fully depressed.
