If you have to get it EXACTLY as in the pictures, I guess some kind of
line-drawing/markup command is what you're facing (and I don't know how to
draw them). However, the customary thing in this kind of notation is to use
breve notes  (the modern kind, which has single vertical lines, close to
what you have in your example).
  

Exactly! Here's an example:
\version "2.10.0"
\relative c'  \new Voice {
\cadenzaOn
4 \breve 4 2 4 \breve 4
}

\relative c'  \new Voice {
\cadenzaOn
4 \breve
}


We don't have the note head version with double vertical lines, but you 
can use some tricks to obtain them.
To get make the lines extend between the note heads, some more tricks 
are needed.

What aspect of this are you trying to achieve and having difficulty  
doing so? I don't really see anything special about the two examples  
provided.

It's used to mark recitative type of singing (which is like talking,  
but

on a constant pitch). I don't know if it's commonly used everywhere
(perhaps not, because searching the internet didn't bring up any
examples (wrong search term?)), but it's used in the music I'm  
notating.


Is this possible to do with Lilypond?
