Help in using polyphony

[Hendrik]

Hello,

I copied

  \relative c''
     \context Staff < \context Voice = VA { \voiceOne cis2 b  }
       \context Voice = VB { \voiceThree b4 ais ~ ais4 gis4 }
       \context Voice = VC { \voiceTwo fis4~  fis4 f ~ f  } >

from the on-line manual.  But appending \score { \notes { and the
appropriate ending braces to it gives me the error message:
error: syntax error, unexpected CONTEXT, expecting NOTENAME_PITCH or
DRUM_PITCH or '>':
                \context Staff < \contex
                                                            t Voice = VA {
\voiceOne cis2 b }

followed by more messages about unexpected { braces.

What is wrong here?

Thanks, Hendrik
