I have a hymnal that uses a single thick bar line at a mid-measure
line break that coincides with the end of a line of the poem.
It uses a double thick bar line at the end of a song.
Its repeat signs are four dots and a thick line (or two thick lines at
the end of a song). A bidirectional repeat sign has only one thick
line. A repeat sign at the beginning of a line is just four dots
following the clef, without any line.
But getting back to the question, how's this?
\version "2.11.1"
thickBar =
\once \override Staff.BarLine #'hair-thickness = #6.0 \bar "|"
\score
{
\relative a' { a1 \thickBar a1 | a1 \bar "|." }
}
I do like the idea of being able to produce a thick bar line with some
other string than "|", because in the case of this hymnal, it doesn't
just look different than a normal bar line, it means something
different.
Regards,

Question to the other developers: Should we change \bar "." to
create a single thick barline for reasons of consistency and instead
add a new bar line style \bar "dot" to create a single dot as a bar
line?
I don't object, but I've never seen a single thick barline in the
wild...
