This sounds like what I was originally looking for, but I didn't get any responses to that message. It's a little strange that it's documented under AmbitusNoteHead when it really doesn't have anything to do with the note heads of the ambitus itself. It's a way to exclude notes from the ambitus calculation. It should be explained on the main Ambitus documentation page.
This is exactly what I needed.
