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 “|.”
