It's only listed in the Internals Reference at the moment
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/Tunable-context-properties#Tunable-context-properties),
since the Percussion chapter is still a work in progress.

The third column specifies a script to add to the notehead, which
would be one of the options listed here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/List-of-articulations#List-of-articulations.
 If no script is required, #f should be used; though #t has the same
effect as #f, its use in the examples is likely to confuse users. :)
