This was exactly what I was after. It’s nice and simple and works well. Thank
you.
I might wish for it being better documented. I see Devnull documented well in
the Internals Reference, but I didn’t readily see it mentioned in the Notation
Reference. Not that I know exactly where it would fit well. I needed it in the
context of
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/different-editions-from-one-source.
It might not be the right place.
