That might work…

But doesn’t it seem to you (as it does to me) that this is an awful lot of work 
to simply force visibility of a grob? I would rather have a new property added 
to grob-interface, say #’force-visibility (unset or ##f by defaul), which if 
##t would override all other commands and properties (e.g., a previous \hide or 
#’break-visibility setting or #’stencil hack) and simply force the grob to 
appear. A shortcut could be \show or \force, which would be \override 
Grob.force-visibility = ##t.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Kieren.
