"false".  The Scheme notation for false is #f, and to get from LilyPond
to Scheme requires another # .  You could also write #(< 1 0) with the
same result: (< 1 0) evaluates to false in Scheme.

The normal value for outside-staff-priority is a number determining how
material outside of the staff is to be ordered.  Setting it to false
instructs LilyPond to not place it outside the staff at all.
