Playing with bound-padding, it looks like bound-padding has the
unfortunate effect of creating a gap at the *left* end of the trill
spanner (opening up space between the "tr" and the beginning of the
trill line) rather than at the *right* end (which is where the
whitespace needs to open up instead).

%%% BEGIN BOUND PADDING %%%

\version "2.11.7"

\new Staff {
  \once \override TrillSpanner #'bound-padding = #4
  \once \override TrillSpanner #'extra-offset = #'(-4 . 0)
  c'4 \startTrillSpan
  c'4 \stopTrillSpan \startTrillSpan
  c'4 \stopTrillSpan
  c'4
}

%%% END %%%
