a puzzlement regarding slurs and pedal markings

Leo: Yes, I was trying to do it in Engrave mode. I had made an illogical assumption, that since you can only drag dynamics in Engrave mode, you would only be able to drag Pedal lines in Engrave mode. Silly me! Next time I’ll try it in Write mode, if there is a next time, though if I create the Pedal line as you have showed me, instead of the way you said to Not do it, as I was, I won’t ever need to drag it again!

Again, thanks!
