While I don't actually know how to set those noteheads, at least the font has 
these glyphs:
- -) noteheads.svaticana.linea.punctum 
- -) noteheads.svaticana.linea.punctum.cavum

So, whoever implemented gregorian chant in lilypond definitely thought of such 
vertically barred noteheads...

A little grepping the source code shows that lilypond really is able to use 
these glyphs.

And then the LSR gem comes in: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=86
It gives the hint that one can override the note head easily. It does not 
correctly use them (for 2.11), though:
        \override NoteHead  #'style = #'vaticana.linea-punctum

A little playing around (and knowing the glyph name) indicates that it should 
be #'vaticana.linea.punctum. The attached file shows you how to do this.

Cheers,
Reinhold
