I indeed was referring to that one -- looks like a nice solution, I guess a number of 2 would also be sufficient to get open note heads?
@Karl: I think, these editorial tricks are not only specific to ancient music -- and there is also enough material in the staff section that should allow you to create an additional staff (ossia) above withought staff lines to it would show only the rhythms. I agree with Graham, that we cannot give an overview on music basics in the notation manual. That would be a rather different course: Learn ancient notation with LilyPond. :-) But, on the other hand, since the ancient chapter is so special, well, maybe it would be useful to have some very basic stuff still explicitly mentioned...
