Why do you want to merge a half and quarter note? It would just make the score more difficult to read and the musician's life more difficult. Would the notehead left filled or unfilled? Unlike the merging of a half note and a beamed note of eighth or less duration, where the number of beams makes the shorter note's duration obvious, there is no such quick visual clue here, other than stopping and counting durations in each voice.
