White Notation used by Charpentier

[Klaus Föhl]

Hello,

These days I have seen Charpentier music using some white notation for shorter
durations, in a nutshell minima noteheads with quaver flags. Wikipedia file
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Elevatio.png is showing an(other) example.
What is the proper naming (I have been told "white notation" or "weiße
Notation", however I associate this with earlier mensural notation)? What is the
best/easiest way to get this written with Lilypond?

Regards

Klaus
