Re: Seeking ambitus range as text output, with some notes not included

[Stephan Schöll]

One could wrap this into a music function - as long as it's ok to only 
handle single notes (NoteEvent, monophonic) or entire chords 
(ChordEvent), <e d> e.g.:

%%% SNIPPET
\version "2.24"

hideFromAmbitus =
#(define-music-function
     (note)
     (ly:music?)
   #{
     \override NoteHead.ignore-ambitus = ##t
     #note
       \revert NoteHead.ignore-ambitus
   #})

\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff
    \remove Ambitus_engraver
  }
  \context {
    \Voice
    \consists Ambitus_engraver
  }
}

\score {
  \new Staff {
    \new Voice {
      \relative c' {
        c e g
        \hideFromAmbitus { c d }
        a
        \hideFromAmbitus <c,, f> g''
      }
    }
  }
}
%%% SNIPPET
