Well, @ is just an arbitrary character that isn't used yet by LilyPond.
& would probably also have worked. \single converts an override (like
\omit Accidental) into the corresponding tweak. \etc cuts a music
function call short and results in a music function that expects the
remaining arguments. Sooo...
\omit Accidental is an override
\single \omit Accidental is incomplete syntax missing a tweak target
\single \omit Accidental \etc is a music function expecting such a target
So:

Of course you can write this @ cis1 as well. I was just aiming for a
single-character version.
