Did you find the help text for the Custom Barline command? (Right click and choose Help): Command: CustomBarline Information: Create a custom barline. These can be named, or can simply override a standard LilyPond bar line type. A bar line is defined by four forms, which describe 1) the appearance normally (during a line), 2) appearance when the barline is at the beginning or 3) end of a line , and 4) what to show when joining staffs together as with a Piano Staff. Barline forms are made of characters including |,:,.,[,],: and others in the LilyPond documentation. It would seem that for number (2) above you chose a dotted barline instead of "" a blank ...
