I didn't realise that removing the bar-engraver confuses lots of
other things. Try this instead (1.3.94)


      \score {
      \notes <
      \context Staff = SA  { c1 c1 c1 c1 }
      \context Lyrics = LB \lyrics { _1 _ _ _ }
      \context Staff = SB  { c1 c1 c1 c1 }

        \paper  {\translator {
                \StaffContext

                        % override the type of bar we see at staff context
                whichBar = "empty";     %generates harmless warnings.
                }
                \translator {

                \LyricsVoiceContext
                \consists "Bar_engraver";

                % BarLine gets confused about size if there's no staff
                BarLine \push #'bar-size = #4.0

                }
        }
}
