Aloha Carl.
Yes, I have read most of the manuals and have created ~12 scores over
the past few years but LP is so vast that there seems to be no end of
interesting things I don't understand or can't find. It's a truly
amazing piece of work and my ship is so small.
The point I am trying to communicate is not antagonistic, just trying to
suggest something that might be helpful to others as well as me. If
there are others out there who have trouble with such searches while the
keepers of the keys think otherwise, then there's potential for a lot of
wasted time for everyone.
If this is not helpful feedback, please feel free to ignore and I'll go
silent.

I go to the LP home page, using that search box (upper right),
type #f and this is what is returned. I can send a video if you'd
find it helpful.:

John,
It looks like the reference Kieren found is the next one down on your
list in the enclosed image (just off the page).
Have you read the Learning Manual? The recommended way to get up to
speed with lilypond is not to try to set some piece of music yourself,
but to first read through the learning manual. Try out the examples
in the LM. Then, after you have the LM in your working memory, you
can move onto using the Notation Reference and the Internals Reference
to help you set that challenging score.
If you are trying to understand generalities, rather than specifics,
it's almost always best to look first in the Learning Manual.
If you don't have the Learning Manual in mind, it's really hard to get
up to speed on LilyPond.
HTH,
Carl
