Aloha. I kind of suspected that this was a Scheme-ism but didn't dig into it (yet).  I used to progam Lisp but know nothing about Scheme. Perhaps it's so fundamental to the Core group that it's 'duh' but that's not the case for the rest of us (me). Of course, booleans would be fundamental

Hi John, On the main webpage (https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/web/index), when you use the search box (in the top nav bar), and type #f (no quotes or anything), do you not get the “Types of Properties” link within the first few hits (it’s the third when I search)? Thanks, Kieren.
