Not even note columns. A DevNull simply creates *nothing at all*. As simple as
that.
However, it does, like all contexts, forward the events it receives to its
parent contexts. For example, this makes it very useful for "structure" hidden
parts with \time and \break commands. Those won't be interpreted on a Voice or
Staff level (there will be no extra time signature displayed, for example), but
they will still get interpreted on Score level.
For the OP's purpose, DevNull is not the right tool.
