Horizontal extent of NoteHead?

[Mats Bengtsson]

Hi,

I tried to play some tricks with LilyPond and ended up with the
following problem. Why does the text occupy horizontal space
even though I have tried to set all spacing related properties
to make LilyPond ignore the actual size?

\version "2.3.18"
\paper{raggedright=#t }
\relative c'{
c c
\once \override NoteHead  #'X-extent = #'(0 . 0)
\once \override NoteHead  #'X-extent-callback = ##f
\once \override NoteHead  #'no-spacing-rods = ##t
\once \override NoteHead #'print-function = #Text_interface::print
\once \override NoteHead #'text = 
#"ABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCD"
c c

It's the same both in 2.2.x and 2.3.x.
