  Looks like you've been `bracketed' :-). If you're inserting the
examples as is from the manual, with nothing else in your score file,
then you need to add an opening and a closing parenthesis around the
whole lot.

  The score file is a list of lists. The examples are just one of
these lists and require enclosing in in the list that constitutes the
`score' alist as a whole.

  `M-x paren-set-mode' is a must for me when working with all these
bracket thingies.
