In addition to the Held chord, make sure your song's length goes well beyond that last chord (Bar for End of Chorus, or the last bar of a Tag).

Turn off the automatic 2 or 4-bar ending.

One trick I do is to go many measures further on and put a 'stopper' chord in, like C. (C with one period after). This chord can be anything EXCEPT the chord being held.

Then I also silence the chord BIAB automatically places at the end of the song, by adding a single period to that, too.
