Interesting, I had never heard about this convention. Try
adding this:



\version "2.22.1"

\layout {
  \context {
    \ChoirStaff
    \consists Span_bar_engraver
    \override SpanBar.break-visibility = ##(#t #f #f)
  }
}



A full example:

\version "2.22.1"

\layout {
  \context {
    \ChoirStaff
    \consists Span_bar_engraver
    \override SpanBar.break-visibility = ##(#t #f #f)
  }
}

\new ChoirStaff <<
  \new Staff { c'1 1 \break 1 1 \bar "|." }
  \new Staff { c'1 1 1 1 }
>>


Best,
