That is called a SpanBar. BarLine only exists within a staff. See the bottom
of this section of the Notation Reference:
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/bars#bar-lines
Following the links to SpanBar, and then to span_bar_engraver, you will learn
that the span_bar_engraver is in the StaffGroup context.
So what we need to do is omit the StaffGroup.SpanBar.
\version "2.19.82"
\score {
<<
\new Staff {c'4 d' e' f'}
\new Staff {c'4. d'4. e'4}
\new Staff {c'2 d'2}
>>
\layout{
\omit StaffGroup.SpanBar
}
}

Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a diagram using Lilypond and I would like to
remove the vertical bar connecting a series of grouped staves. This is
the bar that is in the left hand side of a score and runs through all
staves, and where instrument names are normally written. Would it be
possible to hide it somehow?
Below is a minimal example:
\version "2.19.82"
\score {
<<
\new Staff {c'4 d' e' f'}
\new Staff {c'4. d'4. e'4}
\new Staff {c'2 d'2}
>>
\layout{
\omit Score.BarLine
}
}

The diagram I am creating has a complex rhythm and I am using a group of
staves so that the rhythm of each line matches the one above, which is
why I am trying to use this trick of grouping them and then hiding the
connecting bar.
Many thanks,
Gilberto
