Thanks! I tried something like that before, but made a mistake.

Within the voice section
| \override Staff.BarLine #'bar-size = #2
| \override Staff.BarLine #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 1)
works, but inside of \layout { \context { \Staff … } } of course it has to be
| \override BarLine #'bar-size = #2
| \override BarLine #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 1)

But that changes the style of repeat marks and \bar "|.", too, which isn’t 
intended. Is it possible to change the style of the automatic bar lines only?

I don’t think that my objective is too special—at least I’ve got several 
sources of music printed that way—so I’m wondering why I couldn’t find a 
solution on the LSR.

It’s annoying, that there are Linux distributions with half-yearly release 
cycle, that stick with old versions of LilyPond and even older ones of TeX. 
But I really like DPKG and APT, so I would be grateful if anyone could give me 
a hint on updating LilyPond on that basis.
