	Pedal point (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		An inverted pedal is a Pedal that is not in the bass (and often is the highest part.) Mozart included numerous inverted pedals in his works, particularly in the solo parts of his concertos.
		Pedal points are somewhat problematic on the harpsichord or piano, which have only a limited sustain capability.
		A Pedal point may be a nonchord tone and thus required to resolve, unlike a drone, or a Pedal point may simply be a shorter drone, a drone being a longer Pedal point.

	Special Plane Curves: Pedal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Pedal and negative pedal are methods of deriving a new curve based on a given curve and a point.
		The locus of Q is the pedal of the given curve with respect to point O. A pedal of a sinusoid with respect to a point below the curve.
		The envelope of lines is the negative pedal of the given curve with respect to point O. The pedal of a parabola with respect to its focus is a line, conversely, the negative pedal of a line is a parabola.

	Pedal Point Play Mode (DirectMusic Producer)
		Note Because a pedal part ignores the chord root, the behavior of the part as it encounters a chord is the same whether the chord root is in the lower range, such as 1C, or the upper range, such as 2C.
		When you set a part to pedal point play mode, its behavior is not affected by the key signature in the chord track of the segment in which the part is playing.
		If a pedal point part contains variations that are set in the Variation Choices Window to play only with specific chord roots, the chord for composition for a pattern serves as the chord that is checked to determine compatibility with the variation.

		Pedal point on the reflection point of the focus by the directrix (the directrix would be the perpendicular bisector of the segment joining the pedal point and the focus)
		The pedal curve created by a fixed point on the directrix, point #3, is similar to the curve formed by the fixed point at the vertex.
		The pedal curve created by the reflection point of the focus by the directrix, point #4, is also similar to the curve created by point #2.

	Pedal curve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the differential geometry of curves, a pedal curve is a curve derived by construction from a given curve (as is, for example, the involute).
		The pedal "curve" may be disconnected; indeed, for a polygon, it is simply isolated points.
		With the same pedal point, it happens to be the pedal curve of the evolute.

	P7 Brake Pedal for SMG
		BMW left the actual pedal cluster unchanged from the manual car, thus there was a perfect place to mount a "second brake arm" to the pedal cluster.
		This second arm is absolutely necessary with a wider brake pedal, as it is the only way to transfer braking force from the left side of the pedal to the right side brake arm (which pushes against the brake master cylinder).
		This double requirement for the P7 pedal to be both very light and very stiff resulted in hundreds of hours of development, as well as the construction of several prototype assemblies.

	Pedal Point - Creative Keyboard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The altering of bass notes and pedal points is a useful technique for experimenting with harmony.
		When the bass player plays a pedal point, the sound opens up and there is much more freedom to experiment with the harmony.
		After experimenting with the pedal point concept you will see that it can be used almost anywhere, especially if you are looking for a more modal type of sound.

	pedal
		Given a curve C1 and a (pedal) point O, construct for each tangent l of C1 a point P, for which OP is perpendicular to the tangent.
		The collection of points P forms a curve C2, the (positive) pedal of C1 (with respect to the pedal point).
		Because of this definition, the curve is in fact also an orthocaustic: the orthocaustic of a curve C1 (with respect to a point O) is the envelope of the perpendiculars of P on OP (P on C1).

	Accompanying: Bass: Pedal Point
		Pedal point may be called for specifically in a given composition or in a particular arrangement, or it may be something you decide to do on your own.
		Pedal point need not be limited to diatonic or even tonal progressions, however.
		Pedal point when used in a modal progression can have the effect of establishing a sense of tonality where one did not exist before, as chords that otherwise held no obvious relationship to each become more like harmonic decoration of the pedal note.

	Piano Forum - Sostenuto Pedal
		The use of the sostenuto pedal does not necessarily have to be written into the score by the composer to be employed.
		For example, there might be a bass note, a pedal point for instance, with a long value or even tied to another note.
		Those are to be taken with the sostenuto pedal regardless of the fact the Rachmaninoff didn't indicate it.

	Essay 1 : What is a pedal curve?
		Of course, the definition of a pedal curve will be given but the main purpose of this essay is to explore some pedal curves with GSP and to have specific experience of students themselves through the processes.
		A pedal curve is the locus of the feet of the perpendiculars from the point to the tangents to the given figure.
		In the case of a point on the center of the circle, we have the circle itself as the pedal curve.

	Pedal Triangles
		Given a triangle ABC and any point E in the plane, the triangle formed by the perpendiculars to the sides of ABC is called the Pedal triangle for the pedal point E. In the case below, triangle ABC is the pink triangle and our pedal triangle is the green triangle.
		If E is the centroid, then our pedal triangle is created on the interior of ABC and remains the same triangle because since E is the centroid, it remains the same unless our triangle is changed.
		As we can see here, when our pedal point is one of the vertices of the triangle, we no longer get a triangle but instead we get a segment.

		Viewed from the driver’s seat, the brake pedal is between the clutch pedal and the throttle pedal.
		If you could push it up and keep the clutch pedal from moving then you'll probably hear the ratchet click as it engages one tooth higher, causing the pedal position to be "higher" (closer to the driver’s seat) when the clutch engages/disengages.

		I propose to rephrase the stated properties in terms of the pedal points of a point P. These are the orthogonal projections of P on the sides.
		This proves that, in any triangle, the distance between the pedal points of a given point P is proportional to the distance of P to the vertices of the triangle.
		So two other point of the locus are given by the intersections of the angular bisectors with the opposite side of the triangle.

	Definition of Pedal point
		The pedal tone is considered a chord tone in the original harmony then a nonchord tone of the dissonant harmony and a chord tone when the harmony resolves.
		Pedal points are somewhat problematic on the harpsichord or piano, which have only limited sustain.
		They can also be realized with a trill, particularly frequent with inverted pedals.
