How about using RhythmicStaff and glissando?

\version "2.18.2"

\new RhythmicStaff \with {
  instrumentName = #"Güiro "
  shortInstrumentName = #"Guir. "
  \consists "Clef_engraver"
  \override Glissando.springs-and-rods = #ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods
  \override Glissando.style = #'trill
  \override NoteHead.style = #'cross
}
{
  \clef percussion
  r4 c4-\tweak minimum-length #6 \glissando e8 c8 c4 |
}


HTH,
