Sounds a bit like a glissando. ;)
There are lots of interesting Tie 'details in scm/define-grobs.scm
which you might find useful; for example, overriding 'height-limit
will flatten a tie:
\override Tie #'(details heigh-limit) = #0
This is a bit lozenge-shaped, but I don't think you'll get a perfectly
straight line since ties are made from two bezier curves sandwiched
together.
Regards,
Neil
