custom titles example doesn't work

[Tom Cloyd]

[LilyPond-2.11.56 (development-branch), in Kubuntu Linux 8.04.1]

Inserting the definition example given in "3.2.1 Creating titles" of the 
Notation Reference (NR) for GNU LilyPond version 2.11.56 into my code 
file give me the most amazing page of error message. I don't see the 
problem, and don't understand the error msg. If someone can quickly 
point out my error, I'd be grateful. Without the insertion, this code 
file runs without error and produces excellent output.

The inserted code:

 oddHeaderMarkup = \markup {
   \fill-line {
     \fromproperty #'header:title \fromproperty #'header:composer}
   }

The entire section from my code file:

\paper {
 #(set-default-paper-size "letter" 'portrait) 
 oddHeaderMarkup = \markup {
   \fill-line {
     \fromproperty #'header:title \fromproperty #'header:composer}
   }
 ragged-last-bottom = ##t % turns off vertical justify
 left-margin = 0.6\in
 line-width = 7\in   % works better than specifying R-margin
 bottom-margin = 0.7\in
 top-margin = 0.7\in 
}

The initial part of the error messages:

GNU LilyPond 2.11.56
Processing `prelude01.ly'
Parsing...
prelude01.ly:11:23: error: syntax error, unexpected SCM_TOKEN
 ragged-last-bottom =
                      ##t % turns off vertical justify
prelude01.ly:32:9: error: syntax error, unexpected STRING, expecting 
\default or NOTENAME_PITCH
   \key

prelude01.ly:39:5: error: syntax error, unexpected STRING
   {
    r2. < e'' fis''-4\3 g''-1\2 >2\sfz \fermata |} \\

Thanks for any help!
