Description
Your idea
Add the 'snap to previous' and 'snap to next' options for pedal lines, for more precise control over their vertical positioning.
Problem to be solved
Pedal lines are frequently used adjactently to one another. If one successive line is positioned much lower than the others would be, the result is lots of 'floating' pedal lines. Especially on densely packed pages this is not ideal. Allowing to change the snapping for individual pedal lines could overcome this.
Prior art
These options already exist for hairpins and gradual tempo changes.

Research direction
The issue names pedal lines and points to existing snap-to-previous/next behavior for hairpins and gradual tempo changes. Locate those implementations first, then trace how pedal-line vertical positioning is handled; done means both options are available for individual pedal lines and prevent the described floating placement.
