Not everything can be made explicit in the manuals, or they would become 
even more massive than they already are.

This is explained in the Learning Manual, section 4.3. Here are two 
different overrides, each with the equivalent shorthand:

\override TupletBracket.transparent = ##t
\hide TupletBracket

\override TupletBracket.stencil = ##f
\omit TupletBracket

These are somewhat recent additions (read: in the 2.19 cycle), and due 
to our shortage of developers/documentation writers they aren’t properly 
documented yet. Also, what Kieren said.
