in the future, please take care that the minimal working example does not contain any undefined symbols that cause errors. Here, simply adding "strike = \fermata" at the beginning of the file alleviated all these errors, however. After using convert-ly and rendering (using version 2.25.7) this extra barline doesn't appear. Can you try updating to the most recent version of lilypond (.24 or .25), and see if that helps?

Hi people. I'm trying to reproduce the formatting from a tune that
started out in ABC notation, which is formatted with line breaks
around phrases instead of bars. It is working as intended, except for
an empty bar that's showing up after the first repeat sign, and I have
no idea what's causing it. Also there's extra space being added before
the other line breaks as well:

The following is how it should be formatted (generated by ABCM2PS).

And here's the code, without the definition of the \strike articulation symbol.

\version "2.18.2"

\header {tagline = ""}
{
     \numericTimeSignature
     \time 4/4
     \key f \major
     \repeat volta 2 {
     \partial 4 f'8g'8 | a'4(  a'4 \strike) bes'8(a'8 g'8\strike f'8) |
d'2 f'4. d'8 \strike | c'4 c'4( d'4f'4) | a'4( g'4 g'4 \strike)
\allowBreak \break
     \partial 4 f'8g'8 | a'4(a'4 \strike) bes'8(a'8g'8 \strike f'8) |
d'2 f'4.( d'8 \strike) | c'4c'4d'(e'4) | f'2. \allowBreak \break }
     \repeat volta 2 {

d'2 f'4.(d'8\strike) | c'4(c'4\strike) d'4 e'4 | f'4. }
}
