Improvisation is sometimes denoted with slashed note heads. Such note heads can be created by adding a Pitch_squash_engraver to the Staff or Voice context. Then, the following command
\set squashedPosition = #0 \override NoteHead #'style = #'slash
switches on the slashes.
There are shortcuts \improvisationOn (and an accompanying
\improvisationOff) for this command sequence. They are used in
the following example
\new Staff \with {
\consists Pitch_squash_engraver
} \transpose c c' {
e8 e g a a16(bes)(a8) g \improvisationOn
e8
~e2~e8 f4 fis8
~fis2 \improvisationOff a16(bes) a8 g e
}
