Research direction
Start at the Note Input Toolbar and inspect how its Settings button exposes existing note-entry actions. Trace the current whole-bar-rest entry flow so the new toolbar option uses the same behavior. The work is done when users can find and invoke whole-bar rests through the toolbar settings.
