After switching from Sibelius, I missed having all my repeat barlines have "wings" on them. It's not documented in the Lilypond documentation, but it's not too hard to accomplish. Just add this inside your Staff:

<code> \set Score.startRepeatType = #"[|:" \set Score.endRepeatType = #":|]" \set Score.doubleRepeatType = #":|][|:" </code>

<lilypond version="2.24.0">
\language "english"

mel = \relative c'' {
%% for 2.18.2 use:
\time 2,3 5/8
%% with newer versions:
%\time 2,3 5/8
\repeat volta 2 { a8 b b b b | }
\repeat volta 2 { c8 ds c c b }
a8 b b b b
\repeat volta 2 { b8 a gs fs e }

}

<<
\set Score.startRepeatBarType = #"[|:"
\set Score.doubleRepeatBarType = #":|][|:"
\set Score.endRepeatBarType = #":|]"
\mel
>>
</lilypond>
