Looks like you edited Marks file he posted here
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2013-04/msg00793.html
or is it a later version?

Anyway, both versions are not perfect in determing begin/end of broken
spanner-parts.

Really?
If I apply
\override TrillSpanner.bound-details.left.padding = 15
to the example, the spanners are shortened to the _right_. Wouldn't
call it perfect ...

I think, one needs to explore why the begin/end of broken
spanner-parts are off sometimes, before one could think of
implementing another shorten/lengthen-feature.

Too late for me today, though. Maybe the upcoming days ...
