      D'oh!

This doesn't work if you try 2.18.0 (“unexpected \header”). It does work in 2.18.1 and onwards, thanks to

    Issue 3727: Allow header blocks and output definitions in \score to precede music
   
    This addresses a frequent complaint of users.

I have learnt this restriction during my very beginnings in LilyPond -- I was
using 2.18.0 at the time. Since then I never realized it was gone as I always
followed the practice of putting \header after the music.

I'll prepare a patch to update NR examples to use \header before the music as
I think this looks much more logical.

Thanks!
