I agree. A simple example could be included in the same brief
style as the others between Time Signature and Clef in 1.2.1.
This would be easy to do.

better placed in 1.2.3 immediately after Time signature, but
the move would require some juggling with a number of snippets.
There are higher priority doc items, though.
