All types of pedal lines can have text as their start signs, instead of glyphs or hooks. You can override the text shown at the start of pedal lines that have text start signs, you can change the continuation text shown at the start of new systems, and you can override the restorative text shown at the end of una corda pedal lines.

You can change the design of all pedal lines project-wide according to their type in Engraving Options > Pedal Lines > Design, and you can change the appearance of individual pedal lines, independently of your project-wide settings.

Pedal lines that use a text indication rather than a symbol

For pedal lines such as una corda or sustain that have text for their start sign, such as Ped. Text, rather than the more ornate symbol, you can override the text shown at the start of the pedal line and replace it with your preferred performance direction.

Continuation sign/text

When pedal lines continue onto subsequent systems, a continuation sign/text is shown in parentheses by default. If the pedal line is using text for their start sign, such as Ped. Text, rather than a symbol, you can change the text shown at the start of a new system and replace it with your preferred performance direction.

Una corda pedal lines

The equivalent to the final pedal lift for the una corda pedal marking is the indication to return to tre corde. You can override the tre corde text shown at the end of the pedal line and replace it with your preferred performance direction.
