Default Hi, Just to ask what is the b

Hi,
Just to ask what is the best way top handle a fermata (pause) in NC? I can add the symbol ok - and as documentation says, this does not actually affect the performance. So... if I use the as-performed piano roll feature to extend the duration of the pause that will work until the start of the next bar - at which point the first note in that bar will sound! Not what's wanted. Could insert an empty bar and extend into that but doesn't look to good on the score (that's what I'm doing now though). Only other way I can think of is to insert an abrupt change in tempo to slow it down and then start it up again. Not very neat and not easy to get to sound right. So, is there a proper/better way to do it?
thanks
-John
