There is no such a feature, and I do not think I will add it.

Anyway, you may have quite the same thing using many voices. I explain:

- write each line in a different voice:

        [V:1] CDEF GABc|..    % first line
        [V:2] EFGA Bcde|..    % second line
        ...

- and prevent measure bars from crossing the whole system:

        %%staves 1 | 2 | 3 | ..

Then, you may have up to 16 staves (lines), which is normally enough
to fill a page.

But, as there is still a bar on the left side, you will have to remove
it manually editing the PostScript file (remove or comment the first
line ending with 'bar' after the staff definition).
