prallSharp =
  \single \override Script #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
  \single \override Script #'text = \markup {
    \override #'(baseline-skip . 1.2) \center-column {
      \fontsize #-4 \sharp
      \musicglyph #"scripts.prall"
    }
  } \prall

\relative c' { f4\prallSharp }


Except that for inexplicable reasons, this complains about \prall unless
you write it as #prall instead or use

prallSharp =
  \single {
    \override Script #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
    \override Script #'text = \markup {
    \override #'(baseline-skip . 1.2) \center-column {
      \fontsize #-4 \sharp
      \musicglyph #"scripts.prall"
    } }
  } \prall

\relative c' { f4\prallSharp }

I have no idea currently what the syntax error for the first is about
(raise a bug, someone).

Of course, you can easily write the tweak version instead:

prallSharp =
-\tweak Script.text \markup {
  \override #'(baseline-skip . 1.2) \center-column {
    \fontsize #-4 \sharp
    \musicglyph #"scripts.prall"
  } }
-\tweak Script.stencil #ly:text-interface::print \prall

And you probably don't even need the Script. here, so it should be easy
to make this work pre-2.17.
