Is there a way to force LilyPond to draw a standard single bar

As I said, this flexibility is not provided.
Which bar lines have this side-effect is currently hardcoded in C++.
A likely enhancement would make this selection overrideable, so that
it would be possible to temporarily switch in the "|" barline too.
It would help in this regard if you could explain why you need the
bracket to be closed like this, e.g. does it involve a coda?
You could go low-level and replace the BarLine and SpanBar stencils
with Postscript routines to draw a suitable single line.
But the original stencils have a lot of additional logic; this would be lost.
Or you could keep the single bar line and replace the VoltaBracket stencil.
But this would do the wrong thing at line breaks.
Today I had a lateral thought for a workaround in this special case:
use overrides to make the existing stencil morph the bar line from "|."
(sometimes automatically changed to ".|") to "|".
So try using \simpleBarLineClosingVB instead of \bar "|."
simpleBarLineClosingVB = {
\bar "|."
\once \override Score.BarLine #'thick-thickness = #0
\once \override Score.BarLine #'kern = #0
}
Cheers,
Robin
