Karl and Carl (and other choral typesetters),

I've added a new context to the source code called
"NullVoice" which is designed exactly for this purpose.
It's not yet available as a release, but you can get it by
replacing your installed copy of ly/engraver-init.ly with:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=blob_plain;f=ly/engraver-init.ly;hb=df8a24

The documentation is not yet online, but if you can read
through the texinfo code, you can learn about it here:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=commitdiff;h=2537ec#patch2

I'd actually appreciate if you and the other choral
typesetters test this out now, in case I've missed
something, or if you have any suggestions for improvement.

Thanks.
