Hiding staff without hiding bar lines

[Michael Rivers]

I'm a relatively new LilyPond user, so I apologize if this is something I
should have found in the manual. I'm trying to use LilyPond to make
worksheets and theory tests, so I need to hide elements for students to fill
in themselves. I also need to notate rhythms without a staff. I know that
rhythms can be notated on a one-line percussion staff, but I really prefer
the look of no staff with full bar lines.

I've figured out how to hide clefs, time signatures, bar lines and the
entire staff. My problem is that \stopStaff seems to also hide all bar
lines. Often, this is what I want, but other times I need the bar lines to
be visible. Is there another way to hide the staff, or is there a way to
make the bar lines reappear with \stopStaff?
