Move Menu Items for Tool-Related Option Dialog Boxes to Menu for Tool

IWBNI all options that pertain to a given tool were moved from the Options>Documents Settings submenu to the menu item for the tool which is inserted into the main menu when the tool is selected.

This could be implemented by moving the menu items for the following dialog boxes:
 
 
Dialog Box Current Menu Item Move to New Menu Item
Clef Designer Options>Document Settings>Clef Designer Clef>Clef Designer
Multimeasure Rest Options>Document Settings>Multimeasure Rest Measure>Multimeasure Rests>Edit Default
Page Format for Parts Options>Document Settings>Page Format for Parts Page Layout>Page Format for Parts
Page Format for Score Options>Document Settings>Page Format for Score Page Layout>Page Format for Score
Piano Braces Options>Document Settings>Piano Braces Staff>Piano Braces
Repeat Bars Options>Document Settings>Repeat Bars Repeat>Repeat Bars
Repeat Endings Options>Document Settings>Repeat Endings Repeat>Repeat Endings
Text Inserts Options>Document Settings>Text Inserts Text>Inserts>Edit Text Inserts
Time Signature Options Options>Document Settings>Time Signature Options TimeSignature>Time Signature Options

The Clef, Repeat and TimeSignature menus would be new menus that are inserted into the main menu when the corresponding tool is selected in the same way that the Expression menu is inserted when the expression tool is selected.
