Maybe something like

\new Staff
<< \new Voice \repeat unfold 40 { c'4 d' e' f' }
   \new Voice
   { s1*20 s4-\tweak outside-staff-priority ##f
     \tweak dash-fraction 1 \tweak thickness 4 \tweak direction #CENTER
     \tweak style #'zigzag \tweak zigzag-length #2 \tweak zigzag-width 3
     \startTextSpan s4 s4 s4\stopTextSpan }
>>
