So, let's talk about damper lift

[Ric Brekne]

Hi Again

Ok... I see... we are talking about engaging the dampers when the pedal 
is down.  Grin... sometimes takes a bit of time to sort out where a post 
is going.  I suppose I'd have to try it and think this through a bit.  
Strikes me off hand tho that if your goal is transparentness of touch, 
then concentrating all the weight of both damper lift and escapment 
(with the pedal down) at exactly the same moment would be counter 
productive. And it would create a very different sensation then without 
the pedal. When the pedal is not engaged, these two moments happen 
naturally enough at different moments of time, spreading out the nett 
effect of both touchwise. Setting the pedal as you suggest would 
increase the resistance through escapment... which off hand strikes me 
as a downside touchwise.

Still.. I'll have to give it a whirl and see.

Cheers
