If you want to keep the CodeLens functionality but mostly get rid of the references, go to:

• Options/Environment/Fonts and Colors
• Show settings for: CodeLens

and change the settings to:

• Font: Consolas
• Font Size: 6
• Indicator Text: White
• Indicator Text (Disabled): White
• Indicator Separator: White

Choosing Consolas reduces the line height beyond the default Calibri font, even at font size 6. There might even be a smaller font that you can use but I haven't found it.

If you have a dark background choose a matching dark color instead of White where it is mentioned in the steps above, since the goal is to hide the CodeLense text.
