You can wrap it up more neatly if you're using it in several locations:

\version "2.17.9"

beginPrallSpan = #(define-event-function (parser location) ()
  #{
    \tweak bound-details.left.text
      \markup { \fontsize #-5 { \musicglyph #"accidentals.leftparen" } }
    \tweak bound-details.left.stencil-offset #'(0.02 . -0.65)
    \startTrillSpan
  #}
)
endPrallSpan = \stopTrillSpan

{
  c'\beginPrallSpan d' c'2\endPrallSpan
}
