Are you familiar with the whole of the Learning Manual? If not, you 
should read it thoroughly.
\score {} can only contain /one/ music expression. Your example has two 
music expressions, the second without any link to the first. You need to 
either bind them together as sequential {} or simultaneous <<>> music – 
in this case it doesn’t really matter which.
