New issue 1128 by PhilEHolmes: Text pedal mark not closed at music end
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1128

Notation reference 2.2.2 says "Pedalling to the final bar line is indicated  
by omitting the final pedal up command.".  This behaviour works for  
bracket-style pedal markings, but not text-style.  As a result, it's  
impossible to indicate a pedal up mark at the end of a piece of music,  
except by adjusting horizontal spacing.

The example below shows the bracket closing as expected, but the pedal up  
text marking not being placed.  The best that can be done is shown in the  
3rd and 4th examples, and the desired behaviour shown in the attached  
image, with the pedal up being moved courtesy of photoshop.

TestPedalMusic = \relative c {
  \clef "bass"
  c2_\sustainOn  c2 \bar "|."
}

TestPedalMusicAlt = \relative c {
  \clef "bass"
  c2_\sustainOn  c2_\sustainOff \bar "|."
}

\new Staff { \TestPedalMusic }
\new Staff { \set Staff.pedalSustainStyle = #'bracket \TestPedalMusic }
\new Staff { \TestPedalMusicAlt }
\new Staff { \set Staff.pedalSustainStyle = #'bracket \TestPedalMusicAlt }
