I could look into adding a custom number of bars to the end, but is
this really all that useful?  If a user wanted extra silence, they
could just add empty bars to the song.  An advantage of adding their
own extra bars is when they play the song in the application, it is
the same length as the exported song (if the "export as loop" option
is set).
I just found it disconcerting that LMMS would export my song longer
than what it plays in the application.
