Comment #4 on issue 1459 by address@hidden: \hideNotes in tablature  
adds unwanted marks
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1459

I can't reproduce this error in 2.15.36: no unwanted mark is printed.

However, it would be nice to make \hideNotes work also for notes in  
TabStaff.
I remember that there was a discussion with Carl about it, but I cannot  
find in the archives right now. I don't think it's as easy as adding in the  
appropriate places of property-init.ly:

\override TabNoteHead #'transparent = ##t
\revert TabNoteHead #'transparent

It's probably more complex.
However, this change would make the slides-in-tablature.ly snippet look  
good in TabStaff (see file attached).
