Hi all,
I accidentally used both these variants of pedal lines in my score and am wondering which one I should stay with.
My intention for the pedalling is to indicate normal piano damper pedal usage. Advice appreciated

PS: I note that Gould's book uses the variant on the right of my picture. I don't see the left variant in her book, although I only looked quickly.

It's the one on the right for sure. Never saw the thing on the left. Looks like a something from an EKG.

Thanks, John. My score looks consistent now. Maybe one day I will find a use for the other variant!
Cheers,
HP.
