It didn't really work out for me because MIDI was still
entirely generated, making proofhearing harder. And setting
this property is generally more work than commenting out
some parts. I couldn't switch it off from the very
beginning of the piece either... But didn't even try too
hard, though commenting also has a drawback: %{ %} is not
nestable. You just can't win all the time. I still think
the skipTypesetting property would be useful if it could
consistently suppress typesetting of other parallel things,
too. If I remember correctly, it fell short on lyrics.
