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.
