How did you apply the fermata? Was that in the notation? If using a RealTrack, that probably won't be recognized.

Adding a Hold to the Chord, with some experimentation, including adding one or more additional bars after your required song ending with a rest applied, might work.

C. indicates a C chord that is a Rest.
C.. indicates a C chord that is a Shot.
C... indicates a C chord that is a Held Chord.
