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 |
}
