It's called mensurstriche layout.
Take a look at Notation Reference 2.8.5.
Basically it's acheved in LilyPond by using StaffGroup instead of
ChoirStaff, and making barlines invisible.
Vit, have you tried using it with newest development version
(2.13.38)? I think it solves your problem (if i understood you
correctly), take a look at this:
\version = "2.13.38"
global = {
\override Staff.BarLine #'transparent = ##t
s1 s s
% the final bar line is not interrupted
\revert Staff.BarLine #'transparent
\bar "|."
}
\new StaffGroup \relative c'' {
<<
\new Staff { << \global { c1 c2 c1 c2 } >> }
\new Staff { << \global { c1 c2. c1 c4 } >> }
>>
}
cheers,
Jan
