\version "2.19.32"

silence =
#(define-music-function (arg) (ly:music?)
   (map-some-music
     (lambda (m)
        (and (music-is-of-type? m 'note-event)
             (make-music 'SkipEvent m)))
     arg))

\displayLilyMusic
\silence { c4 \tempo 4=100 f8\p g8 }

For version 2.18 you'll likely have to write (parser location arg)
instead of just (arg) but I think the rest would work fine.
