Notes not being sustained despite pedal markings.
Unless I'm hearing it wrong, it seems that notes aren't being held through the pedal in measures 36 and 38. I've had similar issues before and I have no idea what's causing it.
UPDATE: Here's what I've found after some testing. This happens on both the Musesounds and MS Basic piano. The places where the bug happens move when the tempo is changed. I've confirmed that the issue is actually happening, and I'm not just hearing it wrong. On a similar note, only some devices actually get the bug. The score works fine on some devices. I've remade the entire score without copy pasting so it's probably an issue with something in the score, not the file. I've continued writing the score, despite the issue, and the bug is reoccurring in several spots, indicating that there might be multiple ways the bug can happen?

I thin it's just an auditory illusion - the pedal is playing back, but the effect isn't as prominent in those measures because there isn't as much happening on the first beat (no bass not in 36 and only a single note melody, no melody notes in 38). Try adding more notes on the downbeat and you'll definitely hear the sustain more clearly.

I'm not sure we can read too much into the pedal working or not. As an experiment I removed the pedal mark from measure 37 to compare the sound with 38. To me, 37 did not have a pedal sound, as expected. But 38 did develop the sound as the measure progressed. So I took out the mark from measure 35. To me the same thing happened. But hold on. 37 (the measure I removed the mark from earlier, and still didn't have it) now played full pedal sound.

That's very strange. I've been working on the score a bit more and I got another part's pedal stopped working. I started a section with 4 measures with pedal every measure but the pedal would not work in the last 2 measures. When I restarted the score to record it, I found that only the last measure now had the issue.
The problem might be caused by repeats? I made a new version without any repeats and everything worked fine

There are definitely some known playback glitches involving repeats and pedal, so that's possible. See for instance https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/25899, even though the specific symptom is different. It's different enough that it's worth opening a new issue even though some of us can't reproduce this. But just realize that it's likely no progress will be made until someone finds steps that are guaranteed to reproduce the problem.
