Greetings,

Transparent rests in the score is easy. Add:

\layout {
  \context {
    \Voice
    \override MultiMeasureRest #'transparent = ##t
    \override MultiMeasureRestNumber #'transparent = ##t
    \override MultiMeasureRestText #'transparent = ##t
  }
}

to your Score block for the musical score and make sure it's not in the 
Score block for the parts. It may be a little extreme in some cases (if 
all your MMRs are single measures in the score, for instance, the last 
two aren't needed), but it should do the trick. YMMV

Cheers,
Bryan...
