fine

Definition:

The Italian musical term fine (pronounced fee’-nay) marks the end of a composition or movement, usually following a repeat command such as D.C. al fine or D.S. al fine.

Fine (meaning “end”) may be written in the middle of a song along with a final barline, in which case the very last measure will have a double-barline.


See al coda.
