All of the following will likely remain allowed for 2.20:

\once \override TrillSpanner.bound-details.left.text = ##f
% recommended form as of 2.18 as it is simplest

\once \override TrillSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = ##f
% recommended form as of 2.12, complementing the corresponding \revert
% but rarely actually used.  Its non-use encouraged a lot
% of non-working code in the manner of
% \revert TrillSpanner #'bound-details #'left #'text

\once \override TrillSpanner bound-details.left.text = ##f
% completely equivalent form using dotted list syntax.  Why bother?

A number of other more obscure variants will work equally well.  But the
version written by Mike is slated to go.
