Try adding this to the score block:

\score {

  \layout {

    \context {

      \Voice

      \consists "Pitch_squash_engraver"

    }

  }

}

When typesetting slash notation, I use this snippet: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=332. You don't have to worry about transposition because the slashes are really rests. (Also, it doesn't add weird notes to the MIDI output.)
