file containing the code for predefined notehead styles

I am not the greatest expert on this. But property-init.ly seems to have many things like that.

Neither am I, but AFAICT these are not in the installed files in readable form, but defined in the conventions of  the C-code

https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/blob/master/lily/note-head.cc

combined with the various *-noteheads fontsources

https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/tree/master/mf

The notehead style is a suffix to the name of the notehead characters in the font sources.

From the readme of the font sources you can land at https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/blob/master/ps/encodingdefs.ps which holds information on all the defined music glyphs, among which are the various noteheads.
