Description
Feature request:
If the user pushes ctrl-k (create chord) when a bar or series of bars is selected instead of the required note or rest, select the first note or rest automatically and continue creating chord instead of displaying an error message.
Reasoning, it's much faster to click a bar than a specific note when trying to create a chord.

Research direction
Start at the Ctrl-K create-chord command handling and inspect how bar and note/rest selections are validated. The work is done when a selected bar or series of bars chooses its first note or rest and continues chord creation instead of showing the current error.
