Description
Your idea
The Sostenuto pedal on a piano is used to create certain effects and has a distinct sound:

And similarly for silently depressed keys, which also cause a type of echo in the piano.
Please consider implementing realistic playback for this in both MuseSounds and MS Basic.
Problem to be solved
There is no playback for this. (Obviously, Musescore does not yet recognize specific notation for silently depressed keys. Perhaps this would be something for sound flags.)
