Lets explain why those grey bars were introduced in the first place. It's was as a result of users requesting a way to have the screen show all the sections of a song starting at the first bar on the left as opposed to say a B section or a solo section starting at a bar in the middle of a row. Usually a song's section change also needs a drum fill or a substyle change which is why that is controlled by part markers. It makes a song much easier to read as a chart on stage in the middle of a gig when you can easily see the A, B, C, whatever sections all starting at the first bar on the left. It's quite logical when you think about it.

Check out the Fakebook view to see how that looks. If you don't mind different sections of a tune starting in the middle of a line of chords then follow Matt's instructions and turn that off. No more grey bars.
