Add an Option for an Expression to Begin a New Staff System

IWBNI there were an option that could be used to specify that in all cases where a given expression is used, the measure to which the expression is attached or the measure that contains the note to which the expression is attached, should begin a new staff system.

This feature would be useful for example, when all instances of rehearsal marks that are expressions are to occur at the beginning of a system, throughout a set of extracted part scores. As it is now, the option Begin a New Staff System may be checked on the Measure Attributes dialog box for each measure in the full score that contains a rehearsal mark.

This could be implemented by adding a checkbox called Begin a New Staff System to the Text Expression Designer and Shape Expression Designer dialog boxes.
