-In the following example, a trill is combined with grace notes.
-The syntax of this construct and the method to precisely position
-the grace notes are described in @ref{Grace notes}.
+A trill spanner crossing a line break will restart exactly above
+the first note on the new line.
+
+@lilypond[ragged-right,verbatim,quote,relative=2]
+d1\startTrillSpan
+\break
+d1
+c2\stopTrillSpan
+r2
+@end lilypond
+
+Consecutive trill spans will work without explicit
+@code{\stopTrillSpan} commands, since successive trill spanners will
+automatically become the right bound of the previous trill.
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
+d1\startTrillSpan
+d1
+b1\startTrillSpan
+d2\stopTrillSpan
+r2
+@end lilypond
+
+Trills can also be combined with grace notes. The syntax of this
+construct and the method to precisely position the grace notes are
+described in @ref{Grace notes}.
