Yes I got it but both ways are like a hack. It would be so much better and
logical if lilypond would allow to enter individual duration for each note of a
chord.
This would deserve to be added to the doc.

You've made the whole thing look like a quarter-note to Lilypond, but
persuaded it to show *you* the top note as a half-note. As far as
Lilypond is concerned, it's still a quarter note but printed "wrongly"
so it looks like a half-note. It still only occupies the time duration
of a quarter note, so the bar would be missing a quarter note without
the skip.
Marc's suggestion is to do it the other way around and make the whole
thing look to Lilypond like a half-note, so the timing is all just
fine, but tell it to print the /lower/ notes "wrongly" so they look
like quarter-notes.
Does that make it clearer?
