Ditto to what Martin said, and I'll add that if it's organ music it means
play the bass line with the feet. (Unless another line is specifically
stated as being the pedal line).

Pianist here. For most scores trained pianists will know how and when to <br>
use the pedal even without any pedal markings. Occasionally detailed <br>
pedalling instructions from the composer are seen.<br>
<br>
&quot;With pedal&quot; means the composer/typesetter trusts the musical skills of \
<br> the performer to add pedalling ad libitum in a sensible way and that no <br>
detailed pedalling instructions are needed. It never means the pedal <br>
should be continuously down! If that is the case it should be explicitly <br>
