Re: "hiding" tablature - adding a blank tablature to music

[Kevin Tough]

Probably not quite the solution you need but I was able to hide a single
occurrence in the Tabstaff with...

  \override Head #'transparent = ##t
  fs

It was not quite perfect in that part of the Tabstaff grid will be
covered with white (erased so to speak).

Namaste,
Kevin
