Amelie Zapf provided this but:

1. The part that sets the stem length to zero doesn't work.

2. Now in version 2.1.5 the slashes are too small.  They were fine in 2.1.2.

sl = {
         \property Voice.NoteHead \override #'style = #'slash
         \property Voice.Stem \override #'length = #0
}
nsl = {
        \property Voice.NoteHead \revert #'style
        \property Voice.Stem \revert #'length }

The intention is to put \sl before notes to be changed to slashes and 
\nsl to reset this condition.  I will research this further and file a 
bug report if relevant.
