Release pedal during caesura (playback)
In my score I have a short pause between verses, which should be silent. Unfortunately, since the pedal is down immediately before the caesura, the notes continue to ring out. This is such a small issue but it seems like it should be so easily solved; does anyone have a workaround that won't be visible?
Edit: Added screenshot.

You mention pedal down, so presumably you are using the (piano) pedal line from the lines palette. If so, move the anchor of the end of the line to the note before the caesura.
See:

Good thought, but no dice. If I do that, the pedal will be released too early.

Upload the score so people can examine what you are trying to do.

So... in the attachment example 2 is too early.
Well then...
Have a listen to example 1 where I placed half notes with quarter note heads followed by a 'fake' rest symbol from the Symbols palette (shortcut is Z).
Another way...
Using the Piano Roll editor in example 3, I increased the length of the notes before the caesura.

That's really clever, but it doesn't really solve the problem on its own, because the pedal still rings through the caesura. I'm curious about why the pedal line doesn't seem functional in your example score; is there a way to disable it that I'm missing?
Update: I was able to copy and paste it from yours. I've fixed the problem for now. I'd still like to know, though.
