Just so you know, in default LilyPond mode (ie. not Ancient mode), the
most appropriate way of specifying the locations of barlines is by
specifying the appropriate time-signatures for each measure.

No. It works for every staff because it's in...
\layout { \context { \Staff *here* } }
The whichBar command effectively removes all barlines, but that's a
weird way of doing it. If you're curious, replace that line with
whichBar = #"|"
and see what it does. Your code will be more correct and easier to
understand, however, if you replace the whichBar command with
\remove Bar_engraver
That is, if you want to remove *all* barlines.
Remember, when you're coding, don't use something just because it
works in that instance; better instead to use the appropriate
command. If you want to remove all barlines, use
\remove Bar_engraver
If you want to make them transparent, use
\override BarLine #'transparent = ##t (in the Staff context)
By the way, somebody should change that snippet.
