functions for transparent and void glyphs
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2859

Well, here goes one round of bikeshedding, starting as issue 2717 over two  
months ago.  In the reviews, Keith gave an outlook to another series of  
bikeshedding for the corresponding reverts, but with any kind of luck, we  
can spend all that effort just on the single shed in issue 2874.  The  
required documentation issue has been outsourced to issue 2870, and  
frankly, while the names and uses were still oscillating, it did not make  
much sense working on it.

At any rate, this particular one has now been pushed to staging as
commit 44240869b4d78df01ce4751fe7aae4b8d4e9d947

    Issue 2859: Provide \hide and \omit functions for transparent and void  
glyph

    Both functions take either a grob name to override, or a music
    expression to tweak (that is, the type of the argument decides whether
    this results in an override or a tweak).

    \hide sets #'transparent for the affected grob to ##t,
    \omit sets #'stencil for the affected grob to ##f.

    Example uses are
    \new Voice \with { \omit StringNumber } { c'\4 }
    { <c' \hide g'~> g' }
