The tricky thing with getting this closer to the original is fitting the 
quaver in while the crochet already fills the bar.  We can do this by 
multiplying the crochet duration by a half.  Then all you need to look up in 
the index is parenthesis and breath.

\relative c'{
\time 2/4
f8 a g4*1/2 \parenthesize g8 \breathe e
}
