If the pedals/trapwork isn't in sync, then you'll be having problems in one
area or   >another, IMO.

I'm aware of the problems which can occur if the pedal lifts the dampers
higher than the key.  Dean posted a nice description.   But what's wrong
with having the pedal lift just a little short of the key lift?  If the
pedal lifts to the same height as the whites, it's going to be lower than
that blacks, isn't it?
