Tick barlines

OK, next finnicky notational question, another that I haven't found in
LSR or the manuals: how can I create tick barlines, that is, barlines of
much smaller length than usual, normally positioned at the top of the
staff, poking out a bit?

I can reduce the length of the barline as follows,

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
{
   \override Staff.BarLine #'bar-size = #1.5
   \relative c' {
      c4 d e f
      g4 f e d
      c1
   }
   \revert Staff.BarLine #'bar-size
   \bar "|."
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

... but suppose I want this small 'tick' to cover the top space of the
staff, and poke out the top -- how do I move it up in this way?  Or am I
going about the construction of tick barlines in entirely the wrong way?

Thanks again to all. :-)
