I didn't have any problems using an include like this:
%%%
\version "2.26.0"
musicOne = {
\include "barLineColorRed.ily"
R1
R1
% \section barline in red
\section
R1
R1
% fine barline in red
\fine
}
\score {
\musicOne
}
%%%
%%% barLineColorRed.ily %%%
\override Staff.BarLine.color =
#(lambda (grob)
(let ((glyph (ly:grob-property grob 'glyph)))
(cond ((member glyph '("||" "|.")) red)
(else #f))))
%%%
Tell us what you've tried and what happened.
