This links to 3.1.89 RehearsalMark which says:
> RehearsalMark objects are created by: Mark_engraver.
That links to 2.2.66 Mark_engraver which says:
>  rehearsalMark (integer)  The last rehearsal mark printed.


You can see an example regarding this in the regression tests.
Searching for 'The mark may be set with' takes you to
  rehearsal-mark-letter.ly
which shows setting to #24 without triggering a \mark,
the next \mark \default uses #25, producing 'Y'.
