extend final staff

I'm new to this forum, so my question may have been covered before. But how does one extend the final staff to the right margin so that it lines up with the others above it? I've been unable to figure this out.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, that works, but it doesn't show the final double bar line. It looks like it's unfinished.

You need to modify the barline - make it a "section close" - Select (highlight) the barline, press <Alt-Enter> (or however you prefer to open the properties dialogue), change the style in the list box to "Section Close", press <Enter> or click OK.

While that works, it doesn't "balance" the bar lengths in the last system, instead it simply extends the last ber to the end of the staff.

The system break solution gives a better appearance.
