We're both using the clothes pins identically, just for different 
stages of pedal regulation. When the sostenuto is properly regulated, 
the tabs will be 1/6" above the tab height as lifted by the key (a #, 
BTW). So I pick # dampers close to each action break & use the 
clothes pin to hold the dampers at key lift height. That tab height 
(plus 1/16") I transfer to the sosty rail.

At this point, you come along and clamp the heads at sosty catch 
height and set the upstop rail just a goat hair above that.
