Yes, you can't simply write
\noteone4
to get ees'4 when \noteone is set to {ees'}

this has bitten me as well, and it is caused by the fact that \noteone is not 
just some string, but a fully-fledged music expression.

I have no simple solution. I think it would involve writing a small scheme 
function to take a music expr and replaces it's duration.

You could maybe look at
