Thank you. That is the name I was planning to suggest. > There are publications that used it mid-measure AND mid-system Yes, I saw a lot of that when I was searching for the example in the OP. > If you want more documentation, I can try to find it. Don't put yourself out, though I am curious. I found the following in _The Boston Handel and Haydn Society Collection of Church Music_ [1]: Calling it a "double bar" even when it has only one line is interesting, but I suppose that "double" refers to its width. I was also surprised to find that _The Celebration Hymnal_ (1997) has line-end phrase bars that are no different than the bars that delimit measures. — Dan [1] https://www.google.ca/books/edition/The_Boston_Handel_and_Haydn_Society_Coll/hkcAAAAAYAAJ
