@subsubsection Piano pedals
-@cindex Pedals
-
-Pianos have pedals that alter the way sound is produced. Generally, a
-piano has three pedals, sustain, una corda, and sostenuto.
-
-
-Piano pedal instruction can be expressed by attaching
-@code{\sustainDown}, @code{\sustainUp}, @code{\unaCorda},
-@code{\treCorde}, @code{\sostenutoDown} and @code{\sostenutoUp} to a
-note or chord
-
-@lilypond[quote,ragged-right,fragment,verbatim]
-c'4\sustainDown c'4\sustainUp
-@end lilypond
-
-What is printed can be modified by setting @code{pedal@var{X}Strings},
-where @var{X} is one of the pedal types: @code{Sustain},
-@code{Sostenuto} or @code{UnaCorda}. Refer to
-@rinternals{SustainPedal} in the program reference for more
-information.
-
-Pedals can also be indicated by a sequence of brackets, by setting the
-@code{pedalSustainStyle} property to bracket objects

-A third style of pedal notation is a mixture of text and brackets,

Accordions are often built with more than one set of reeds that may be
in unison with, an octave above, or an octave below the written pitch.
-Each accordian maker has different names for the @q{shifts} that
-select the various reed combinations, such as @q{oboe}, @q{musette}, or
-@q{bandonium}, so a system of symbols has come into use to simplify
-the performance instructions.
