\once\hideNotes makes me a bit queasy here since it will affect all
notes at the same timestep.  Now in this case, there is no other note at
the same timestep.  If your version is recent enough to support it,
using
\single\hideNotes f8
should be preferable.

\hide f8 is even simpler but would probably just hide the notehead.
