Sorry, I must be being dense ... because the code makes it seem like
the right edge of the first spanner here should pad by 2.0, right?

%%% BEGIN %%%

\version "2.11.7"

\new Staff {
  c'4 \startTrillSpan
  c'4 \stopTrillSpan \startTrillSpan
  c'4 \stopTrillSpan
}

%%% END %%%

But no padding happens. (See pic.) What am I missing? Does something
have to be overriden for the feature to be turned on?
