Here is my "variation" on NullVoice:

\context {
\Voice
\name PartVoice
\alias Voice

\remove Dots_engraver
\remove Dynamic_engraver
\remove Script_engraver
\remove Drum_notes_engraver
\remove New_fingering_engraver
\remove Rest_engraver
\remove Multi_measure_rest_engraver

\override Stem.length = #0
\override Stem.ignore-collision = ##t
\override Slur #'transparent = ##t
\override Tie #'transparent = ##t
\override NoteColumn #'ignore-collision = ##t

\hideNotes

}

I can't speak to whether it will work in some of the problem areas
described, since I use it strictly to double music that has been part
combined for the purpose of being able to attach lyrics, but if
someone might test it to see how it works in other situations?
