No, but yes but no but..

:)

The 'pitched' trill (which is kinda like a 'grace' in parenthesis) is not
considered 'part' of the tie so I guess you'd 'expect' this to work.

So I can understand why this might confuse and the error is misleading.

I could not get a tie to compile cleanly but I could get a slur to compile
(and I think it looks better anyway as it rises above the pitch trill
rather than clip the glyph - as the tie does).

So if it helps to be rid of the warning

\relative c''
{
\override TrillPitchAccidental #'avoid-slur = #'inside
\pitchedTrill 
b1( \startTrillSpan c | b2.)~ b8\stopTrillSpan r8
}


Will do what you need. If you try using a slur instead of a tie the
compile message is actually helpful (and even gives you the grob to use).

I don't know how to tell LilyPond that the 'c' is not what you want to tie
the 'b' to but tie it to the *next* note. I am not sure that is trivial.

However, more importantly I can't understand the point of a tie while
trilling. :)
