Re: Ledger line visibility issue (Peter Gentry)

[Stefan Thomas]

Dear Peter,
I don't know what You want exactly, but maybee this can lead You to rhe right idea:

\version "2.14.2"
music = { \repeat "unfold" 4 { <f''' c''' fis''>4  } }
 ledgers = {
              s4 \override NoteHead #'no-ledgers = ##t  \override NoteHead #'transparent = ##t
 }
 \new Staff {
   \context Voice << { \music} {\ledgers }>>
 }
