shorthands for \tweak/\override #'stencil = ##f

My original thought was "\tweakish\hideNotes" but that does not help making  
the connection that it applies to the following expression.  Other things  
would be \this\hideNotes or \next\hideNotes or \one\hideNotes.  None of  
those convinced me really over \single.

At least it does not seem like people have significant complaints about the  
\hide/\erase pairing for the transparent/stencil override.

I do like \new Voice with { \erase StringNumber } { ... }

There would also be other options like \expunge or \remove (though that one  
is taken already) or \wipe or \kill or \delete or \omit.

Oh.  \omit is actually even better, isn't it?

I'll likely change that, short of protests.  Still, something more  
convincing for \single would be nice.
