Thanks! Solves the matter for me very well indeed.

And so by analogy,  a long downprall could be rendered:

\version "2.17.9"

{
  c'4-\tweak bound-details.left.text
  \markup { \fontsize #-5 { \musicglyph #"accidentals.leftparen" } }
  \tweak bound-details.left.stencil-offset #'(0 . 0.35)
  \startTrillSpan
  d'
  c'2\stopTrillSpan
}

{Now I just have to find an example of one. :-)]
