notation reference lyrics example issue?

[Philip Potter]

Hello,

There seems to be a problem with the example in the notation reference, section
2.1.2 [1]:

\time 3/4
\relative c' { c2 e4 g2 e4 }
\addlyrics { gran- de_a- mi- go }
\addlyrics { pu- "ro y ho-" nes- to }
\addlyrics { pu- ro~y~ho- nes- to }

If I try to compile this under 2.12.2 as a complete file I get
lyrics.ly:1:0: error: syntax error, unexpected \time

If I move the \time directive to within the \relative block, it compiles ok. Is
this an error with the documents or is there some context in which this example
might make sense? I notice that some later examples in the same section put
\time within \relative, but not all - particularly this one:

\time 3/4
\relative c' { c2 e4 g2. }
\addlyrics { play the game }

and this one:

\time 3/4
\relative c' { c2 e4 g2. }
\addlyrics { play the game }
\addlyrics { speel het spel }
\addlyrics { joue le jeu }
