New issue 1303 by v.villenave: Consecutive TrillSpanners may be chained or  
stacked, depending on the syntax.

As pointed out by Francisco as a comment in issue 1297, consecutive  
trillspanners do not always align.

James had investigated this issue a while back:

%%%

\version "2.13.24"

\score {
  \relative c''' {
    c1\startTrillSpan
    c1
    a1\startTrillSpan
    c1\stopTrillSpan
  }
}

\score {
  \relative c'' {
    c1\startTrillSpan
    c1
    a1\startTrillSpan
    c1\stopTrillSpan
  }
}

\score {
  \relative c' {
    c1\startTrillSpan
    c1
    a1\startTrillSpan
    c1\stopTrillSpan
  }
}

Chances are this is but a Documentation problem. Or could the  
behaviour/syntax itself be made more consistent?
