With the pedalSustainStrings context property it is possible to set the text used for pedal down and up. Note that the only valid strings are those found in the list of pedal glyphs – the values shown in this snippet constitute an exhaustive list.

\version "2.24"

sustainNotes = { c4\sustainOn d e\sustainOff\sustainOn f\sustainOff }

\relative c' {
  \sustainNotes 
  \set Staff.pedalSustainStrings = #'("P" "P-" "-")
  \sustainNotes 
  \set Staff.pedalSustainStrings = #'("d" "de" "e")
  \sustainNotes 
  \set Staff.pedalSustainStrings = #'("M" "M-" "-")
  \sustainNotes 
  \set Staff.pedalSustainStrings = #'("Ped" "*Ped" "*")
  \sustainNotes 
}

\layout {
