Using the skipnumbers you have here works, but the trill-line extends to 
the next note, actually slightly beyond the edge of the next note. By 
tweaking the numbers a little more I am able to make the trill line end 
just prior to the next note, like this:

<<{ a4-> c,2.->(\startTrillSpan}{s2 s4 s8. s16\stopTrillSpan}>>

New question - the trillspan TR is colliding with the sharp # of a g# on 
the top line, and in another instance collides with a > accent on the 
top line. I'm sure there is a way to move it using
\once \override someThingHere #'extra-offset = #'(x . x)
But what is the content of someThingHere? I know of TextScript and 
RehearsalMark, but haven't had to use any others (and haven't found a 
list of all possibilities for this variable (if that is the correct term 
for that)).
