As Lilypond evolves, the input syntax keeps changing. The
error text on wrong mudela version simply means that your
file wasn't written for that specific Lilypond version.
The program convert-mudela (now called convert-ly) can
be used to automatically update (most features of) an input
file to a newer Lilypond version.

OK, here's the example:
------ repeatbar.fly ---------------
c'' d e f | \repetitions1*3 |
\time 3/4;
g4 a b | R2.*2 |
------------------------------------
This is just one of a large number of example files included
in the source code distribution, but unfortunately not in
the Windows installation. It might be a good idea to download
lilypond-1.2.0.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.lilypond.org/pub/LilyPond/v1.2/
and extract the files in the subdirectories input/ and mudela/,
using WinZip, for example. Since the Lilypond documentation is not
always perfect, these example files are a good complement.
