Ok, this is what I have hacked together
(tag: nor = modern notes, men = mensural score, part = mensural parts)

fakeLiga = {
  \once\override Staff.HorizontalBracket #'bracket-flare = #'( 0 . 0 )
  \once\override Staff.HorizontalBracket #'thickness = #1.6
  \once\override Staff.HorizontalBracket #'edge-height = #'(0.7 . 0.7)
}
...
  \tag #'(men part) {
    g1 \[ d \melisma
          % this is a fake minor calor, together with the moved b4
          \once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'( 0.9 . -1.8)
          a'1*3/4^\markup{ \beam #0.9 #0 #0.5 }
          \]
    \tag #'part {
      \once \override NoteHead #'extra-offset = #'( -7.7 . 0 )
      \once \override Stem     #'extra-offset = #'( -7.7 . 0 )
    }
    \tag #'men {
      \once \override NoteHead #'extra-offset = #'( -10.5 . 0 )
      \once \override Stem     #'extra-offset = #'( -10.5 . 0 )
    }
    b4   c2 g |
  }
  \tag #'nor { g1 \fakeLiga d\startGroup \melisma a'2.\stopGroup b4 c2 g | }

Anyone having a better solution?
