thanks Ted, that could do it. The tricky part though is that Bach uses a half-bar every other measure.

I ttried this but got 2 issues:
1) 5.0 is not the normal height of the bar line. Would you know what it is?
2) i put a second override to get a normal bar after a half-bar size but the second override seems to override the 1st override ???

\relative c' {
  \override Staff.BarLine #'bar-size = #2.0
  c4 c c c |
  \override Staff.BarLine #'bar-size = #5.0
  c c c c |
}

Does this do what you want?

\version "2.12.3"

\relative c' {
  \override Staff.BarLine #'bar-size = #2.0
  c4 c c c |
  c c c c |
}

thanks Nick. A half-bar is Bach's writing was a bar containing the same number notes but only went over the staff from the 2nd to the 4th lines.
