Hi Jim, There are many ways to do this, but the easies would probably be to tweak the extra-offset:
\version "2.20.0" \relative c'' { \clef treble << { \pitchedTrill c'1~\startTrillSpan des c1*7/8 s8 \stopTrillSpan } \\ { \pitchedTrill a1~ -\tweak TrillSpanner.extra-offset #'(0 . 3.5) \startTrillSpan bes a1*7/8 s8 \stopTrillSpan } >> } You might also want to use whiteout? Hope that helps! Kieren.
