Comment #11 on issue 2717 by address@hidden: Patch: Implement \hide as a shorthand for \tweak #'stencil ##f
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2717Well, I have to agree that the combination with \with is almost too good to be true, but it basically works best when there is nothing else in the context mod. \once\hidden has the disadvantage of the connotation "but now revealed". Also we have \hideNotes, \hideKeySignature, hideSplitTiedTabNotes, \hideStaffSwutch, and all of those are overrides/sets. That's likely the strongest reason for not using \hide for a tweak.
Telling those apart is likely not going to be fun for the average user, but I think that the hide/hidden combo for override/tweak is likely a bit more consistent. I don't think it makes sense to pick more different words for pretty much the same concept applied in a different way.
A probably more accurate term would be "invisible", but I can't think of a good pairing for it, and we already have "hide" in use for other overrides.
