Mostly, I deal with marching percussion, but the same sort of stuff applies to all percussion really. The main thing is the slashes through the notes, and the grace notes without slurs.
A single grace notes without a slur but with a slash is trivial to
obtain, see http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2004-02/msg00122.html
If you want it for the full score, try something like #(add-grace-property "Voice" Stem stroke-style "grace") and then use \grace
The slashes through beamed stems are not supported at the moment, but I have the same feature request for a completely different application. The same notation is used in some early baroque music.
Also, I don't know if anyone's ever brought this up before, but since percussion parts are most often one note, there should be a way to not type the note name every time...something like this:
\notes { \time 4/4 c'8 16 16 16 16 16 16 8 r8 }
Does that make sense to anyone else?
This feature has been discussed but it was many years ago. I'm afraid it may lead to strange ambiguities in the syntax.
