Hi Blöchl,
Although I am a programmer, I found the initial learning to have to use ##f and
##t for booleans, as a user wanting to get on and engrave music, obscure,
difficult to remember, and easy to get wrong, what with the has escaped hash,
even if you do read the manual carefully. Using bool
Setting myself into the situation of a maybe user wanting to switch off
the pagenumber I would google "lilypond pagenumber". Google is
correcting me to page number (in correct English written separately).
The first hit is

Hello Joram,
Just for the record, I was not proposing this as your reply indicates. I was
merely sending back code to Xavier with a suggestion on a different matter.
Once can’t correct everything!

We are talking about a ly-syntax environment here and Malte is right
that ##f is false there. The first # is switching to scheme and the #f
is false in scheme. This is directly (and better) explained in the link
you sent.

Please check

Seriously, is this an exception? Should one throw a bug report or may be
a suggestion for harmonization? That would ease the use of lilypond for
simple minded user

Because LilyPond allows strings without quotes as long as they contain
only certain characters (alphabet and probably some others). Good for
lyrics for example, but also when using \clef
Thanks Malte,

Yes, so coming back to the original post of Xavier: You probably mean
print-page-number = ##f instead of pagenumber = no. It was not your
question but perhaps it helps nonetheless.
And concerning lilypond, would

Just a guess, try

That’s not ‘more correct’; false is ##f, not #f in LilyPond … Besides of
that, what you mean is
\paper {
print-page-number = ##f
}
So maybe try out before guessing ;)
