I don't really understand why you used two simultaneous parts of
music and the spacing rests, since the rhythm can fits perfectly
well into a single line of music. Notice that Lilypond considers the
grace notes to have zero duration.

I simplified your example a bit:

\time 3/8
df'4^#'(lines (script (music "accidentals--1")) (music scripts-trill"))
(  \grace {[c!8 des!8]} ) d!16. d,!32 |
df'8.^#'(lines (script (music "accidentals--1")) (music scripts-trill"))
( df!8.^#'(lines (script (music "accidentals--2")) (music scripts-trill")) |
\grace {[c!8 df!8]} ) d!8 c,,!4 |

For the wavy line, go to lilypond.org, click on Documentation:Index
and then on "tips-and-tricks" and search for the example file trill.ly.

I'm sure someone else on the mailing list can provide you with a tested
version for 1.6.xx if necessary. Basically, it's something like
c4^#(columns (music "scripts-trill") (music "accidentals-0"))


Thanks, that was a big help.  The above didn't quite work, but it led
me in a workable direction.  For the record, this is what I have at
the moment, with a little context:

     \time 3/8
     < {df'4^#'(columns((music "scripts-trill")))^#'(columns((music 
"accidentals--1"))) (} { s8...  \grace {[c!8 df!8]}}> ) d!16. d,!32
     df'8.^#'(columns((music "scripts-trill")))^#'(columns((music "accidentals--1"))) ( < 
df!8.^#'(columns((music "scripts-trill")))^#'(columns((music "accidentals--2"))) {s8 s32.. \grace {[c!8 
df!8]}} >
     ) d!8 c,,!4

(I'm not sure that the "columns" are necessary -- I'm groping a bit!)
The output is OK, but not optimal.  The accidental above the trill
mark is too large, the slur cuts across the trill in a rather
unfortunate way, and I'd still prefer a wavy line after the trill (in
the second measure, going the full length of the measure over both
noteheads, underneath the auxilliary accidentals).  But I can live
with this.  I'm impressed that lilypond can produce very serviceable
output without any fine-tuning (although there seems a rather sharp
divide between the high-level interface -- c b s4 etc. -- and the
low-level one).
