That makes sense! As someone with literally hundreds of scores engraved in 
various applications over more than three decades, I totally get the “inertia” 
factor…  :)

Nowadays, Lilypond has both \omit and \hide, each of which does a different and 
potentially useful thing.
Just an FYI, in case you didn’t know!
