How to remove word Pedal on long lasting Pedal?

I have 1 long pedal lasting throughout 3 staves. is there a way to remove the word PED at the beginning of each stave? (I found nothing in Property Menu, Engrave , Edit menu or with write click)

You’re right: at present, you can only choose between a parenthesised or non-parenthesised symbol.

THanks. For future I would prefer to have an option also without PED on each stave beginning, cause when my students see the sign PED they automatically retake it, so I have to remove it phisically with the white pencil

Yes, I understand. We’ll try to push this up the priority list.

Select the pedal line and set the property Sign appearance to Ped. Text, set Continuation text to a space, and activate but do not check Show continuation sign in parentheses. In Library > Font Styles > Pedal Line Font, set the Font to Bravura Text and the Size to 15.5pt Staff-relative. Go to the SMuFL page for keyboard techniques, copy the ornate Ped. glyph (U+E650) and paste it into the Text property for the pedal line. Finally, adjust the vertical position of the continuation lines in engrave mode.
