The article I linked covers more than just meter, specifically it covers 
how to have independent bar lines.  You need to follow it to ensure that 
your bar lines do not "bleed" into the other staves.

See the following:

%%%%
\version "2.19.82"

\paper { ragged-right = ##f }
\layout {
  \context { \Score
    \remove "Timing_translator"
    \remove "Default_bar_line_engraver"
  }
  \context { \Staff
    \consists "Timing_translator"
    \consists "Default_bar_line_engraver"
  }
}

<< \new Staff \relative c'' {
  \cadenzaOn
  r1*5/4\fermata \bar ".|:"
  < d e f >1\> r1\!\fermata \bar ":|."
  s1*3/4 \bar "||"
}
\new Staff \relative c'' {
  \cadenzaOn
  r1\fermata \bar ".|:"
  < d e f >1\> r1\!\fermata \bar ":|."
  s1 \bar "||"
}
\new Staff \relative c'' {
  \cadenzaOn
  r1*3/4\fermata \bar ".|:"
  < d e f >1\> r1\!\fermata \bar ":|."
  s1*5/4 \bar "||"
} >>
%%%%

Regarding the spacer rests (or actual rests if you wanted them to be 
printed), the beginning and ending rests must add up to the same total 
across all staves.  So, for the above example, we need the rests to be 
equivalent to two full measures.  In the first staff, scaling the 
leading rest by 5/4 requires a corresponding scaling of the final 
spacing rest to 3/4.  The middle staff is trivial, and the final staff 
is just the opposite of the first.
