You have to get the half pedal even before looking for those other positions. I can't rely on my foot to find that half pedal point, the card makes every thing reproducible. If you have even voicing at full bore, and even voicing at half pedal, the other adjustments are minor. It works for me. Since I do a lot of voicing, this is the fastest and most efficient method that I have managed to master.
