\once \override TrillSpanner.extra-offset = #'(0 . -0.2) That will help
with the vertical position somewhat cumbersome as you must guess the offset
value.
you can also define a function, which you can invoke where needed.
trillArrow =
\once \override TrillSpanner.bound-details.left.text = \markup {
\concat {
\musicglyph #"scripts.trill"
\translate #'(0.5 . 1.0)
\fontsize #-4
\with-dimensions #'(0 . 1.2) #'(0 . -2)
\↓
}
}
That should get you going in the right direction.
