You're referring to this work?
Yes, I do. As I understand now, you distinguish between instrumental and vocal versions (adaption tree). Does this apply only to songs which have been originally released as instrumentals with lyrics added sometime later? This would affect especially jazz standards, such as “Tenderly” and others.

Short answer: yes.
Long answer: it depends.
In this case, Hanighen wrote lyrics to an instrumental song. So, the root work is "Round Midnight": Music written by Monk/Williams, while "Round Midnight": Lyrics written by Hanighen is an adapted work.
Sometimes is the other way around, for instance when someone set a poem to music. Down by the Salley Gardens
And sometimes a lyricist adapts/translate a song (that already has lyrics, for instance in English) to another language: The Fool on the Hill
These are the cases when you must create adapted works.
BUT
What happens when someone records an instrumental version of a song that has lyrics? Nothing, we just note in the comments that that performance is instrumental. Scrambled Egg
The reason is simple: in the latter case, there are no new credits.
Long story short: new credits = new (adapted) work.
