This is generally not a good idea because some spacing algorightms get a 
bit confused if there are no lines to refer to.
A better solution is to set

            StaffSymbol \override #'transparent = ##t

(within the same translator). This way the bar lines are also maintained.
If you REALLY want to set linecount to 0 then you can alter the height 
of bar lines with

BarLine \override #'bar-size = #<height of line measured in staff space>
