Answering on my own question with a hidden gem I managed to dig up from the
archives of this list (thanks Wilbert for posting this in the distant past):
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html//lilypond-user/2013-03/msg00963.html
Updated for 2.24.0 with convert-ly that would nowadays be
\version "2.24.0"
endbar = {
\overrideProperty Staff.BarLine.after-line-breaking
#(lambda (grob)
(let* ((sys (ly:grob-system grob))
(staff (ly:grob-object grob 'staff-symbol))
(half-thickness (/ (ly:staff-symbol-line-thickness staff) 2))
(cur-x (cdr (ly:grob-extent grob sys X)))
(new-x (cdr (ly:grob-extent staff sys X)))
(xoff (+ half-thickness (- new-x cur-x
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'extra-offset (cons xoff 0
}
allowing you to code an end-of-staff barline on left-aligned notes and lyrics
(the typical ending-barline in this case) like:
\endbar \bar “|.”

Works great and got me into trying to apply it on my use-case (display of hymns
including melody in presentation slides), but I end up with visual ugliness it
triggers for end-of-line barlines which then appear in the middle of the staff
at the end of the music. I’d like to know whether that can be solved as well.
For the regular measure bars I don’t mind it that much, I’m fine with
overriding the default measure bar with an overrride that does not print
end-of-line for my purposes as in
\defineBarLine "|-noeol" #'(#f #f #f)
and
\layout {
\context { \Staff
\override StaffSymbol.width = #(lambda (grob) (ly:output-def-lookup
(ly:grob-layout grob) 'line-width))
measureBarType = "|-noeol"
}
}
However for the typical closing barline at the end of a piece ( \bar “|.” ) I
would like to keep it visible, but have it appear at the end of the staff-line
rather than the end of the music.

In 2011, Wilbert Berendsen wrote:

I would use:
\layout {
ragged-right = ##t
\context {
\Score
\override StaffSymbol.width = #fixed-staff-width
}
}

You can always [manually] force extra space into the mix:
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.22.1"
\layout {
indent = #0
line-width = #180
#(layout-set-staff-size 24)
}
{
\key f \major \time 2/4
c'4 \tweak extra-spacing-width #'(0 . 80) f' \bar "" \break
c'4 \tweak extra-spacing-width #'(0 . 80) a' \bar "" \break
}
\addlyrics {
Yes OK,
No thanks,
}
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
I don’t know of a way to set “ragged-right = ##t” for the notes only [and not
the StaffSymbol], but maybe someone out there does…?
Hope that helps!

Re: Notes en lyrics left justified
Hello Ad,
what you want is
\paper {
ragged-right = ##t
}
the issue with this is that it will shorten the staff. So use
\layout {
\context {
\Staff \override StaffSymbol.width =
#(lambda (grob)
(ly:output-def-lookup (ly:grob-layout grob) 'line-width))
}
}
to enforce the staff having full length.
Cheers,
Valentin
