Just trying to repay the Lilypond crew for all the help they've given me.  :)

Always remember to search the maillist.  :)
Also look at input/test/bland-notes.ly

But since I have it handy, I'll paste it here:

inv = { \property Voice.NoteHead \override #'transparent  = ##t
          \property Voice.Stem \override #'transparent = ##t }
unv = { \property Voice.NoteHead \revert #'transparent
       \property Voice.Stem \revert #'transparent }

...
usage:

\relative c {
\tempo 4=88
<{[d16^#"III"\p^#"Moderato" ( \inv )d\unv d(] \inv )d\unv  } \\
 {s16 [d_#"II" s d]}> r4 r2
...


(that's INVisible and UNiVisible)

\unv

should work.
