??? What do you want to do? The predefined context types have been
defined to correspond to standard typesetting practice. If you
want your own layout, you can define your own context type, either
by redefining an existing one or making a completely new. Several
examples of how this is done can be found in the tips-and-tricks
and "Regression test" documents on the web page.

The continued bar lines are typeset by the "Span_bar_engraver"
so that's the engraver to add/remove to the context.

Have you checked all the existing context types, by the way?
If you want a StaffGroup without continued bar lines, you could
use a ChoirStaff context instead.
