Hi,

I tried almost the same:

\version "2.18.2"

\relative c'' {
  \override TrillSpanner.bound-details.left.text =
  \markup\concat{
    \raise #1.0
    \smaller
    \musicglyph #"scripts.upprall"
    \hspace #-0.5
  }
  \override TrillSpanner.bound-details.left.padding = #'0
  \override TrillSpanner.to-barline = ##t
  a4\startTrillSpan a a a
  a\stopTrillSpan
  \override TrillSpanner.bound-details.left.text =
  \markup\concat{
    \raise #.15
    \fontsize #-5
    \bold (
    \hspace #-0.58
  }
  a4\startTrillSpan a a
  a\stopTrillSpan
  \override TrillSpanner.bound-details.left.text =
  \markup\concat{
    \raise #.1
    \fontsize #-5
    \rotate #-7 \sans (
    \hspace #-0.61
  }
  a4\startTrillSpan a a
  a\stopTrillSpan
}

But I didn’t post it here, because I was not satisfied with it for these 
reasons:
- the the lower edge of the roman paranthesis is too sharp
- the sans version is a bit too light (bold would be too much)
- the whole trill span is shifted upwards, even thought the parenthesis does
  not collide with the stems below.

Perhaps you like them anyway.

Cheers,
Joram
