I hoped to get an equally spread out bar repeat region as at the start of the piece, but cannot get it done. Any ideas?

“Your last note in bar 46 probably has “ends voice” turned on in the properties panel, meaning that there are no rests in bar 47 onwards. Without rests (even ones that are hidden by bar repeat regions), Dorico doesn’t know how to space the barline - each bar is 0 beats long.”
