Thank you Ed, That means I can take a number of text less trills back into the trillspanner function. However that leaves yet the upprall, an up prall or for that matter a down prall trill has an extra long initial curved slash that tells you which neighbour, upper or lower to start from as you enter the trill. It is worth looking up how they function if you find yourself dealing with such music as the small extra flashiness intended is really delightful. It was a relatively common notation in the baroque possibly early classical, or rather galant, period. It is one of the tiny useful things, once a standard notation, that lilypond still has not gotten into its arsenal.
