Removing the stencil

Every layout object has a stencil property. By default this is set to the specific function which draws that object. If this property is overridden to #f no function will be called and the object will not be drawn. The default action can be recovered with \revert.

a1 a
\override Score.BarLine.stencil = ##f
a a
\revert Score.BarLine.stencil
a a a

This rather common operation has a shortcut \omit:

a1 a
\omit Score.BarLine
a a
\undo \omit Score.BarLine
a a a
