Did you try the following?
\time 6/8 c'8 r c8:32 ~ c8 c c | c4.:32 ~ c4.:32 ~ | c8 r c:32 ~ c c c | c4.:32 ~ c4 c8:32 ~ | c8 r c \acciaccatura d c r c
Yes. But it doesn't give the result I'm looking for. It's _looks_ like the wanted engraving, but it's not perfect. It's a slightly different concept than tremolos.
Rolls are denoted with 3 strokes. Ruffs are denoted with 2
The strokes across the stem is usually more light than a tremolo. This gives a nicer looking roll:
\property Voice.StemTremolo \set #'beam-thickness = #0.1
\property Voice.StemTremolo \set #'beam-width = #1.5
\clef percussion
sn4:32( sn8) r8However... when I try that with ruffs, the strokes align to the beam and becomes horizontal when the beam is. That's not the intention.
\property Voice.StemTremolo \set #'beam-thickness = #0.1 \property Voice.StemTremolo \set #'beam-width = #1.5 c8:32~c8
Rolls generally a just drum rolls lasting as long as the note. No one is counting how many times the stick hits the snare.
Ruffs are (most often) 5 beats (the 5th being the tied note). In the above code there will only be 3 beats.
For the MIDI output, it's possible to unfold tremolo repeats
as shown in

See also the mailing list archives, where a related question was answered earlier today.
I've read about unfolding tremolos and I've found mails on the list about it. It's not what I want though.
I've only found one thread about marching band snare drum notation and it was about the stroked grace-notes used to represent using both sticks with a small offset (a "slip" in Danish). I have no problem with them though.
