You'll need to define an appropriate bartype and code it at the appropriate 
place, like this:

\defineBarLine "||.|:" #'("||" ".|:" "")

music = \relative b' {
   \repeat volta 2 { \repeat unfold 3 { c4 c c c } }
   \alternative {
 { c1 }
 { g1  \bar "||.|:" }
   }
   
%   \bar "||"
   
   \break
   
   \repeat volta 2 { \repeat unfold 5 { a4 a a a } }
}

\score {
   \new Staff \music
   \layout {}
}

More details are a little way down this section:
