See attached picture.

:::TeX
\version "2.12.1"

\relative {
  c'\sustainOn^\markup default
  c\sustainOff c2
  c4\sustainOn^\markup desired
  \once \override Staff.SustainPedal #'Y-offset = #-0.45
  c\sustainOff c2
}

Could that be a task for a Frog?

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:

:::TeX
\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).

Okay, thanks Neil.  I hadn't considered the alignment issues beyond the glyph itself.

I will mark this as "Started", since my adjustment to the glyph metrics box fixes the
issue in some cases (like in Valentin's original example).
