Staff containers

In this preliminary test of a modern score, the staff lines are washed out temporarily. This is done by making a tuned StaffContainer, which \skips some notes without printing lines either and creates a \new Staff then in order to create the lines again. (Be careful if you use this; it has been done by splitting the grouping Axis_group_engraver and creating functionality into separate contexts, but the clefs and time signatures may not do what you would expect.)
