 Hi Jean,

Given that

1) fixing this issue requires a not trivial change and the authours of the
code are no longer active

2) this issue, as the replies of this thread show, is not considered a
major one (as I instead do; and I'm still convinced that a pedal Bracket
without a cautionary text is unusable / unpresentable) but it appears more
or less as an "enhancement"

If you sum 1 + 2 chances that the reported issue will be developed are ~ 0.

So, in order to produce a concrete result, at least the point 2) should be
accepted / understood. This is what I tried to do, but the thread seems to
go in the opposite way. This is why I think that opening a ticket would be
unuseful for now and I did not open it. But if you think it could be
useful, be free (of course) to open it ...

Best,
P
