It's supposed to be the property Voice.sustainPedalPadding,
but it doesn't seem to work. Bug?!

Property values are now given in Scheme (a LISP dialect).
The '#' sign tells Lilypond that the next character is the
start of a Scheme expression. For numerical values and strings
there's no need to add the '#', but it doesn't hurt.
Boolean values in Scheme are given as #t (true) and #f (false),
respectively. Since the first '#' is for Lilypond, you have to
write them as ##t and ##f.
