Any Sostenuto pedal??
Unless I'm just stupid, I can't seem to find the Sost. pedal
I see it in the master palette, but it doesn't perform anything except to function as a text.
Thanks!!

I can't find any... I only see damper pedal lines...
I mean like the middle pedal, the one where you can sustain a few notes, but note the others.
It is rarely used in music, but I need to use it in my piece.

Sorry, not a pianist. You can edit the text on a damper pedal line or enter it as a text line since you really don't want it affecting subsequent notes.

There are 3 piano pedals.
The one on the left side is una corda pedal,
The middle one is the sostenuto pedal / practice pedal,
and the one on the right side is the sustaining pedal which we use normally.

"I mean like the middle pedal, the one where you can sustain a few notes, but not the others."
On a real piano the middle (Sostenuto) pedal sustains only those notes which are held down when the pedal is applied (not any notes struck subsequently).
Playback for a Sostenuto pedal is not implemented in MuseScore. All the pedal symbols in the Lines palette refer to the Damper pedal, on the right on a real piano. Confusingly the Damper pedal is often referred to as the Sustain or Sustaining pedal! That's how I was brought up in the UK: my teachers never called it the Damper pedal...
You can assemble a Sost. Ped. marking using text, lines, and symbols, but as has been remarked, it won't realize in playback (unlike regular Ped. lines). If you want that, you can notate it artificially using invisible notes in other voices.
