I have—for no apparent reason—some fonts on my computer called Henle.  Now I see they are musical fonts!

Benwiggy, I liked your six-sided release symbol! It's less "fussy" than the traditional eight-sided one. Also I liked the font you used for the Pedal mark, for the same reason. Which font is it?

Sebastian, of course! The :ped symbol is pretty standard, but the P from :ped on its own looks a little unbalanced -- or rather, too symmetrical, as both curls have a similar weight, rather than one being the main counter, and the other a swash serif. So I changed it to a more P thing.

If you changed the P it's not Sebastian "of course", but "Sebastian". However, I liked it, whatever your explanation.

I meant "of course" in the sense of "what else would I be using?".
