    For those of you who use a foot pedal with forScore, where do you place the foot pedal? I just got one and am interested in where works best for most people.

    Most harpists have the foot pedal between the D and C pedal. Experiment. Once you find a good spot, place the pedal there every time you use it. You could also use your right foot on the right side, if that works better for you. You can change your pedal settings to use your right or left foot to turn pages.

    Just what I dreamed of, an eighth pedal to deal with.

    Saul, snide remarks really have no useful place here.

    This reminds me of having an 8th pedal to operate the former “swell” mechanism on old harps like Erards!

    Cheers, everyone!

    Best wishes to you,
