It won't be that simple I'm afraid. "transparent" is not an event property that
you can read here, but a grob property. \hideNotes presets it for various
graphical objects (Dots, NoteHead, Stem, Beam, Accidental, Rest, TabNoteHead),
using override commands like this:
\override NoteHead.transparent = ##t
But during MIDI generation, no such objects are ever created.
>From a note event, Note_performer creates an AudioNote object, a type of
AudioElement, and those are formally analogue to grobs. It would be nice if you
could override a property again, like this:
\override AudioNote.mute = ##t
Unfortunately, the AudioElement class, which is rather primitive compared to
Grob, does not currently provide any scheme property interface. (Changing this
is an item on my imaginary LilyPond project list, but I am still learning
myself.)
For now, working around the problem with tags might be more productive?
