IWBNI when moving layers, there were an option to specify that music should be imploded into the destination layer when the destination layer contains music or when two layers are moved into the same layer. As it is now, the contents of at least one layer are erased as a result of such operations. To implode the contents of two layers of a given staff, the layers may be moved into the same layer of separate staves. Then, these staves may be imploded.

This could be implemented by adding the following controls to the Move Layers dialog box:

--------------------------------
Move Layers Dialog Box

[ ] Implode Music as Needed

[Quant Settings...]
--------------------------------

When the checkbox option Implode Music as Needed is selected, music would be imploded into destination layers as needed in the same way that music is imploded by the utility Implode Music on the MassEdit>Utilities submenu.
