endings for all songs by clearing the checkmark for the “Allow Any

Start the 2 bar ending early
The usual Band-in-a-Box ending is 2 bars appended to the end of the
song. This option gives you an alternative to end the song on the last
bar of the song. Band-in-a-Box will still play an ending on the chord
that you specify, and the ending will occur as a 2 bar phrase beginning
2 bars before the end of the form. This results in more natural endings
for many songs.
