How do I create a "final" ending?

[DaleMac]

Sure you can include it

Yes, the coda only plays once, after the final repeat cycle. The "down arrow" just means I've added some space above the coda so I can see it better. You can also put a double- and triple-arrow if you want more space.

Inserting the "END" code makes the song stop on Beat 1 of the bar where it's inserted (no matter where you place it) - this only activates upon the final repeat cycle also. Because of the tag I wanted to play, I had to edit-in that 3/4-bar at the end so it would stop on what really should be Beat 4 of the last bar. It makes the chart look goofy, but it plays fine. All songs automatically stop after the last bar on the score, but you can't always be sure what chord it will play. So, creating a "final ending" takes a bit of editing, but you'll learn to use some tricks to make it come out (more or less) the way you want. Enjoy!
