It looks as though you actually mean ending/beginning lines, not bars.

Lilypond's barline.cc doesn't recognise your bartype string ":||"
and quietly sets the bartype to empty before continuing.
So unless you extend the C++ hardcoding you are limited
to the bartypes listed in the bar-line-interface documentation.


If you will be using explicit line breaks like in your snippet I would
suggest a \once-like approach as in the attached barRightrepeatDouble.ly.
