You can add retakes and pedal level changes to sustain pedal lines using the playing techniques popover, both during note input and by adding them to existing music.
Note

You cannot add retakes and pedal level changes to sostenuto or una corda pedal lines. Retakes and pedal level changes only appear for sustain pedal lines with the Line continuation type.

Prerequisite

You have input a sustain pedal line.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, do one of the following:

    • Start note input.

    • Select an item on each staff and at each rhythmic position where you want to input retakes or pedal level changes.

  2. Optional: If you want to input notes and retakes or pedal level changes onto multiple staves with sustain pedal lines at once, extend the caret to those staves.
  3. Open the playing techniques popover in any of the following ways:

    • Press Shift-P.

    • In the Notations toolbox, click Popovers Popovers button, then Playing Techniques Playing Techniques button.

  4. Enter the appropriate entry for the retake or pedal level change you want into the popover.

    For example, enter ^ or retake for a retake, or 1/2 to change the pedal level to 1/2.

  5. Press Return to close the popover.

Result

During note input, retakes and pedal level changes are input at the caret position.

Outside of note input, retakes and pedal level changes are input at each selected rhythmic position on each selected staff.

Tip

You can also input retakes and pedal level changes by selecting notes within the ranges of sustain pedal lines and choosing Edit > Notations > Pedal Lines > [Retake or pedal level change]. You can also choose these options from the context menu.
