Here's something I came up with.  It's not ideal.  If you compare the
substitute stems with ordinary stems, you'll find differences.  (These
relate, I think, to how rounded the lines are--to 'blot-diameter.)  But
hopefully this will do.

The argument allows you to specify the number of dashes in your stem.


\version "2.15.38"

#(define (dashed-stem num)
  (lambda (grob)
    (let* ((stencil (ly:stem::print grob))
           (ext (ly:stencil-extent stencil Y))
           (len (interval-length ext))
           (lst '())
           (factors
             (map
               (lambda (x) (* (/ len (1- (* 2 num))) x))
               (iota (* 2 num)))))

     (define (helper args)
       (set! lst
             (cons
               (make-line-stencil
                 0.13 ;; thickness
                 0 (+ (car ext) (car args))
                 0 (+ (car ext) (cadr args)))
               lst))
       (if (null? (cddr args))
           lst
           (helper (cddr args))))

     (if (zero? num)
         stencil
         (apply ly:stencil-add (helper factors))))))

\relative c'' {
  \once \override Stem #'stencil = #(dashed-stem 2)
  c
  \once \override Stem #'stencil = #(dashed-stem 3)
  d
  \once \override Stem #'stencil = #(dashed-stem 4)
  e
  \once \override Stem #'stencil = #(dashed-stem 5)
  f
}

HTH,
David
