Pedal
I can only apply it to one bar (instead of extending it to two) - the design of it doesn't seem to allow me to be precise with it.
Can anyone give me advice, or is it a problem?
Using MuseScore 1.0 and Mac 10.4.11.

Also, clicking pedalled notes plays them twice.
I'm not seeing what you are describing. Pedal markings work exactly like hairpins - after adding one, double-clcik to go to edit mode and then you can move the anchor point at either end using shift-(cursor left/right), or drag to adjust the relative position to the anchor. Only limitation I see is that there is no keyboard shortcut to place the marking, meaning it's always a bit imprecise as to where it starts. I'm also not hearing the doubled-note effect you describe - what exactly are you doing?

I tried extending it, but there seems to be no effect. Try it with this .
Listen to the 'hiss' disappearing when the pedal stops.
I can't reproduce the note-repeating problem now.

I'm not sure what you mean about a "hiss" - perhaps that's a function of whatever soundfont you are using?
But I had no trouble at all adding a two-bar pedal marking to your example. I clicked the eighth rest in the LH voice 1 on beat one of the first bar, opened the lines palette, dragged the pedal marking below the note and let go. That initially gave me a pedal marking lasting one bar. I then double-clicked the pedal marking which put me in edit mode with the rightmost handle selected. I pressed shift- a few times to move the anchor to the end of bar two. I attached the result. isn't this what you wanted?

Yes - this worked! Thanks. I had been dragging it by mouse.
Yes, there was slight hiss in the first bar, but it disappeared in the next (indicating the pedal had stopped). Maybe it was the soundfont.
