According to Ted Ross (p. 197), "The wavy sign extends and ends above the last affected note and not the duration of the last note."

Ted Ross is wrong. If you end the line thus, the percussionist may think that the final note is not to be rolled. If you extend the wavy line to the end of the duration, there is no such ambiguity.

Of course, if you're reproducing a Baroque MS in quasi-facsimile, you should follow what the MS does, but if you have a choice in the matter, you should "make it impossible to be misunderstood."
