Tobias replied 'change the notes to rests' and Rick came up with his
mute.lisp patch and #'flush-muted which will delete and expunge muted 
objects without changing times in the remaining objects -- which is what
you are looking for (?).
 
since i'm using the pre-xcm-version i'm not sure if flush-muted et al are 
incorporated in the current cm-version. (if not - i can send you mute.lisp).
