Is it possible to place a courtesy key change at the very end of a song?
I'm working on a musical that has many numbers, each is a separate Finale file.
When one song goes immediately into the next, I would like to place a courtesy key signature at the end.
Finale 2014, Windows
Thanks!

Enter the key change in the last measure. Enter a real whole rest, and move it off the page. Change the barline to Invisible. Change the barline of the previous measure to Final. Drag the measure until it's the correct size.
