The way I do barless music is to make the default bar type empty, and
then put in explicit bars where I want them.

I don't understand why you use \stemDown and \stemUp if the stems are
transparent.

I'd look at input/test/rests.ly. It looks like the answer might be:
\property Staff.Rest \set #'style = #'mensural
And then in the other lines, set the rests to be invisible, which I
don't know how to do off the top of my head, but it must be possible.
Or you can probably use s4 if you are doing what I suggest above using
invisible barlines.
Hope this helps. It could well be that I'm recommending what I do
because I don't understand what you do.
