Thanks.

Im after what ive understood RhythmicStaff was meant for, a simple way
of wrapping an existing and unmodified set of music inside a context
outputting only the rhytmic line, apart from avoiding the double
note-heads coming from offsetting multiple notes in different columns.
Below is some code reproducing the problem.

Description: output

Yes indeed, it can be done quite simply with a scheme-function to filter
every 2-or-more length 'element of 'EventChord and consing up the result
inside a 'ContextSpeccedMusic, or setting up a one-line staff and
generating special versions of the input-data.  But hoping to avoid
these kinds of hacks in general tasks would be my main objective to move
towards lilypond.

Ive tried setting up the context with various removes, ie:

                RhythmicStaff \with {
               \remove Collision_engraver
               \remove OtherPlausibleCandidates_engraver
               }  {...}

- but no bingo yet.  I hope to learn more along the way, and im sure
theres something silly or simple (or even complex, as long as its a
general solution) thing i have disregarded.
