What is your question? Maybe you want the following?

  \alternative {
    {
      cis'
    }
    {
      \forget c'
    }
  }

\alternative doesn’t need two bracketed elements but two music 
expressions. “cis'” is one, “\forget c'” is one but if you need to group 
several music events this is done by << >> or { }: “{ cis' \forget c' }” 
is also only one music expression.
