I think it's better to create an extra voice with the notes and 
everything else that you don't want to see set to transparent. I use 
this quite frequently if the score has ties between voices, overlapping 
text spanners, barres indicated with arpeggio brackets, etc.

hideVoice = \relative c' {
    % voice with hidden notes
    \override NoteColumn #'ignore-collision = ##t
    \override NoteHead #'transparent = ##t
    \override Stem #'transparent = ##t
    \override Beam #'transparent = ##t
    \override Dots #'transparent = ##t
    \override Accidental #'transparent = ##t
    \override NoteHead #'no-ledgers = ##t
}

If you are using the midi output for proofing, you'll also need to 
create a separate score block for midi without this voice included.
