%%%% Snippet start here:

%% Cautionary pedal mark after a line break:
cautionPed = \markup {
  \normal-text
  \with-dimensions #'(0 . 6) #'(0 . 1.8)
  \concat { 
    "(" 
    \musicglyph "pedal.Ped" 
    \musicglyph "pedal.." 
    ")" 
  }
}

ped = \markup {
  \concat {
    \musicglyph "pedal.Ped" 
    \musicglyph "pedal.." 
    \hspace #0.95
  }
}

%% Span:

    #{
      \tweak bound-details 
        #`((left . ((Y . 0)
                    (padding . -1.7)
