That's right.  I want no lines on the stave for the RhythmicStaff, but
I do want lines for the Staff context, and no StaffGroup bracket.

Why does removing Staff_symbol_engraver from RhythmicStaff affect what
happens to Staff???

And in any case it doesn't `work fine' -- you get a line on the
RhythmicStaff.  I want just the crossed notes.

I'm trying to update this piece to current LilyPond.  convert-ly on
its own is insufficient:
 -- can't use TeX escapes for accents and en and em dashes
 -- it mucks up the addlyrics, so I had to change to a \lyricsto with
a specific named Voice
 -- and the problem I'm having with removing the staff lines for the
RhythmicStaff context.  As I said, what I want to see is what you get
if you remove \bar "|." in the minimal example --- as you can see in
the mutopia PNG.
