The old \turnOff macro had nothing to do with what you are asking
about. Rather, the built-in rule is that you get a right edge of the
bracket if it ends at a bar line that is
either a repeat or a double bar line (with one of the lines
thicker, i.e. \bar "|." or ".|"). Otherwise, the bracket
will be open ended.
Please include a small example from your score if you need more help
from the mailing list.

I posted this message this morning but have not seen it, so I am
reposting.
Is is not yet possible to leave a volta bracket "open" (i.e., no
descender on the right end)? The docs (Bugs) for 2.7.32 (PDF)
report that
2.2->2.4:
\turnOff (used in \set Staff.VoltaBracket = \turnOff) is not
properly converted.
Forgive me if I've missed it, but I couldn't find anything in
regression tests or examples.
Thank you for the clarification.
The source file had originally been coded in v1.?, updated to an
early v2.x and was now updated to 2.7.36. The error generated
referred to the \turnOff macro.
There was a \bar "||" at the location in question. I removed it and
it coded as you mentioned (although it is not a double bar line
"...with one of the bars thicker.").
I spent some time looking at the documentation (current 2.7.36, from
the tarball) and didn't find this property described. Probably missed
it.
What is confusing is that there is an example in the Regression Tests
titled
"repeat-volta-skip-alternatives.ly" which appears to not follow the
rule given above. The example which follows ("repeat-volta.ly") also
shows a closed volta spanner at the end, although no barlines is
present.
I found no examples in the "Tips and Tricks" section which might apply.
This is in no way criticism! I feel privileged to have had the
opportunity to watch this Lily grow.
