I'm guessing that in addition to making the stem transparent one would also need to reposition the stem. I looked closer at the lilypond code for the snippet i quoted initially - it defines a context, within the \layout { } section.  Is there a way to insert the snippet, using denemo? 

\context {
  \name ImproVoice
  \type "Engraver_group"
  \consists "Note_heads_engraver"
  \consists "Text_engraver"
  \consists "Rhythmic_column_engraver"
  \consists "Pitch_squash_engraver"
  squashedPosition = #0
  \override NoteHead.style = #'slash
  \hide Stem
  \alias Voice
}
and also:

\context {
  \Staff
  \accepts ImproVoice
}


Then one could insert the opening and closing lilypond anywhere in denemo staff, to implement "ImproVoice":

 "\new ImproVoice {"  (to open)

 "}" (to close)

(I implemented opening and closing lilypond ottava commands similar to the above)

As my weird aside: I still can't post to lilypond-user, even though
i'm subscribed to it. It seems i am blocked. Maybe someone here
could be graciohttps://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-userus
and pot a message to someone there (a moderator?

If you go to https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
you get to contact the list admin (via this I think)

Already emailed the admin.  Same bizarre silence, no-reply.
