Finale ver 26 under Windows 10.

I have a solo piece ending with a "D.S. al Coda". No problem there, however:

1. I want to place my short Coda on a new line under the last line of the piece and I don't want the last line to streach to the right margin.
2. Alternatively, I want to end the staff and have a space before continuing with a new staff for my short Coda. (It should all fit into one line).

If you use the Create Coda System... plugin, it will create the space between the measures, on one line. Or, if you go with two lines, you can use the Page Layout tool, and drag the right margin of the last system over, as needed.
