forgot to add the context:

These locations are LilyPond’s best guess about where the warning or error
occurred, but (by their very nature) warnings and errors occur when
something unexpected happens. If you can’t see an error in the indicated
line of your input file, try checking one or two lines above the indicated
position.

[my suggestion here]

More information about errors is given in Common errors.

yes, much better
