can font-lock hide parts of text?

can font-lock hide parts of text?

[Miguel Frasson]

Hi.

I would like to sort of make invisible some text that matches a
regexp. Supose I have a chordpro line like

 [A]This is a [G]Song

I would like to be able to make an option that shows
  ^This is a ^Song
where ^ is some mark (in a different color) that there there is a chord.

Someone has a clue?

You could probably do something similar to Oliver Scholz's lambda
prettifying code.  See <news:m3n0rory6t.fsf@ID-87814.user.dfncis.de>
