Proposal: rename pedals indications [patch attached] |

Greetings,
a few weeks ago, we renamed \fatText and \emptyText in \textLengthOn
and \textLengthOff -- very sensible.
Now, here's another proposal: currently, pedal instructions are
\sustainDown -- \sustainUp,
\sostenutoDown -- \sostenutoUp
What about using, instead:
\sustainOn -- \sustainOff,
\sostenutoOn -- \sostenutoOff
This way, there would be no confusion possible with \stemUp and such.
(any pianist knows that pedal indication are actually always printed
below the staff; but it's more a matter of internal consistency).
Attached is a patch to change that (including convert-ly rules). Feel
free to comment (actually, I do not really care that much about the
Pedal thing; I just wanted to practice writing convert rules :-)
Cheers,
Valentin
