Jacques,
The gray notes are the roots of the following chords. Perhaps?

Subject: Non-printing notes
Hello folks,
MusicXML has the 'print-object' attribute to notes, among other markups:
<note print-object="no">
<pitch>
<step>D</step>
<octave>3</octave>
</pitch>
<duration>768</duration>
<voice>6</voice>
<type>quarter</type>
<stem>down</stem>
<staff>2</staff>
</note>
This value ‘no’ is ignored by MuseScore and musicxml2ly, and Finale 2014b displays such notes in light gray this way, like the Ds and Gs below:
What is the intended meaning, and how should this be displayed using LilyPond?
Thanks for your help!
JM
