In a song that ends with a hold, I always do what Videotrack said, put a ‘stop’ chord well after the hold fades. Make sure your song has enough measures to do this. And if there is one final chord after your ending, such as at the end of a tag, make sure that chord is silent, too, by adding a single period. You don’t have the song looped to start playing again, do you?
