This has been possible in LilyPond for many years. If you want the
alternative pitch printed in the same stave, just typeset them in a
separate temporary voice and reduce the font size. For example:
\version "2.10.0"
\relative c'{
c d e f |
<<
% Main version:
{g g } \\
% Alternative version:
{\small g8 a g f }
>> g2 |
}
If you want a separate temporary stave, search for "ossia" in the
index of the manual to find an example.

Greetings,
I am a new user of LilyPond. I have been attempting to typeset
some vocal music that contains a few notes that have an alternate
pitch with a notehead that is smaller than the preferred pitch.
I found a similar question discussed in the archives back in July,
2004:

Has any capability been added to LilyPond in the last one and a
half years to make showing alternate pitches easier? This capability
seems like it would be quite useful because many choir pieces seem
to show alternate pitches using this method.
