Okay, I'm now trying to achieve this with tweaks (because they can be 
incorporated into the actual start command for the spanner, so one doesn't 
have to add one command before the note plus the start of the trill spanner 
after the note). However, how can I change the bound-details -> left -> text 
using \tweak??? All I seem to be able is to set bound-details, but not the 
subproperties... How can I tweak only the text, but leave the other settings 
in bound-details at their current values?

Attached are my current attempts at creating a general function for pitched 
trills (articulations as well as spanners). While articulations seem to work 
okay (using the text-interface::print function and the trill with the 
accidental as text), I'm unable to assign the proper spanner text using a 
tweak. Does anyone have any pointers how to solve this?

The other problem I'm running into is that if I have a markup (i.e. the result 
of (make-pitchedtexttrill-markup FLAT ), where \pitchedttexttrill is defined 
using define-markup-command), how can I obtain its stencil so that I can assign 
it to the 'stencil property?

Cheers,
Reinhold
