Comment #2 on issue 727 by n.puttock: Pedal "*" glyph should be  
bottom-aligned

Patrick, I'm not sure we can close this issue yet, since there's still an  
alignment
problem (unrelated to the glyph itself) when \sustainOff doesn't  
immediately follow
\sustainOn.

Here's a quick snippet which demonstrates the problem:

\version "2.13.4"
\relative c' {
  c4\sustainOn
  d4 e f\sustainOff
}

Because the Piano_pedal_align_engraver creates a new alignment spanner for  
each pedal
script, the distance from the stave can vary unless there's a bracket  
between the
start and end scripts.

We could easily ensure an existing alignment continues after the `Ped'  
script, but
this has the undesirable side-effect of creating only one spanner for a  
system, which
cannot be split (see attached image, where I've placed a box around the
SustainPedalLineSpanner); this would require a solution similar to the one  
outlined
in issue #305 (a `break-alignment' event).
