The workaround Graham pointed out shows that with lilypond, the task of imitating a convention which seems to be fairly straightforward shows itself to be fairly difficult to implement.
I wouldn't call it difficult -- unintuitive, perhaps, but not difficult.
(untested)
\version "2.3.16"
global= \repeat unfold 64 { \hideNotes c16 c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c |
c16 c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c |
c16 c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c |
c16 c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c | \break }
music = \relative c' {
a4 b c d }
\score { \new Staff << \global \music >> \paper {} \midi {} }
Something like that is all you need.
Cheers, - Graham
