I have not used \hideNotes very often, but as we want to use the input
both for normal staves and tablature staves without tweaking too much,
I think it would make sense to include the functionality into \hideNotes,
but it seems that this would not be straightforward, as, for example,
\revert Stem #'transparent would make the tablature stems visible, too.
