\layout { raggedright = ##t }

<<
\new Staff {
    c'4 d' e' f'
    \set Score . repeatCommands = #'((volta "1."))
    g'1
    \set Score . repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
    g'
    \set Score . repeatCommands = #'((volta "2."))   
    << \new Staff {b'2 b' b' b'} 
       { g'1
         \set Score . repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
         g'1 } >>
}
\new Staff {
    g'2 g' 
    g' g' 
    g' g' \break 
    g' g' g' g' }
>>

would be closer to what I would like (ie, no ":|" bar)
But the new staff should be above the 2 former ones, instead of
below. How can I chose where the new staff is placed?
