TrillPitch* whiteout bug

[Trevor Bača]

Hi,

Here is a two-staff example with a bug relating to the way that whiteout
works with TrillPitchAccidental, TrillPitchHead, TrilPitchParentheses; the
parenthesized pitched-trill fails to print, leaving behind some type of
visual artifact:

What causes the bug to go away?

Many things, apparently.

Removing the upper staff causes the bug to go away:

%%% OK WITHOUT UPPER STAFF %%%

Strangely, the bug also goes away when the second glissando is removed:

%%% OK WITHOUT SECOND GLISSANDO %%%

\version "2.25.16"

    \once \override Beam.grow-direction = #right
    c''16 * 29952/5120
    [

    c''16 * 13312/5120
    c''16 * 11776/5120
    c''16 * 10752/5120
    ]
}

B = {
    % measure 1
    \time 3/4
    \set Score.proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1/32)
    \override TrillPitchAccidental.layer = 2
    \override TrillPitchHead.layer = 2
    \override TrillPitchParentheses.layer = 2
    \clef "bass"
    r16

    {
        f8
        % \glissando % <= THIS IS THE ONLY LINE THAT IS CHANGED
    }
    % measure 2
    \time 6/4

    r8.

The bug also goes away when the rhythm of the upper staff is changed:

%%% OK WITH RHYTHMIC SIMPLIFICATION %%%

    ]
}

B = {
    % measure 1

    \set Score.proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1/32)
    \override TrillPitchAccidental.layer = 2
    \override TrillPitchHead.layer = 2

In fact, changing almost any one single thing about the original example
makes the invisible-pitched-trill bug go away.

Does anyone have any idea what is happening here? Or should I open an issue
in the tracker?
