p. 11 of the LP manual:
Warning: Every piece of LilyPond input needs to have { curly braces }

p. 13 of the LP manual:
\relative c' {
c d e f
g a b c
}
The manual goes on to say that \relative c' { ... } is the only part
missing from most of the examples in the manual, and that it's the
only part that need be added to make the examples work.
So just to clarify; the ONLY things allowed to not be surrounded by
curly braces are "\relative" statements? OR, the only things allowed
to not be surrounded by curly braces are escaped function names?
No, it's not really that simple. A more precise statement is that you
need to have
a complete "music expression". Examples of music expressions are:
{c d e f }
\relative c' {c d e f }
\new Voice \relative c' { c d e f }
Note that the Tutorial that you are reading for the moment isn't
intended to
provide every detail, just to bring out the basic idea. You can find
more information
in sections "How LilyPond Files Work" and "File structure".
