It is a "nota caudata", common in chant (plainchant) notation, meaning
various things, like a liquescent syllable, or used as a note concluding
certain phrases of chant and so on. I learned to write these also in
Lilypond now, so it is really a cool typographic detail which I will use in
my edition of the Czech plainchant which I prepare now.
