Thanks for the more complete picture.  I don't know how you do this in Lilypond, but I think the proper notation is to write two eighth notes and use a dotted tie (indicating that for one verse it's tied (i.e. a quarter note) and for the other verse, it's two separate eighth notes.

I suppose it too; but what should be the correct way to write this "thing"?
Sorry but when I encounter these strange situations I'm not able to find a

haystack.

Thanks.
