Question about error message

[Jay Hamilton, Sound and Silence]

Hello-
When I leave out the end bracket to a triplet figure in 
line 18,23/24 (in jedit) [see example below]  the error 
message is that I have something wrong with
score\
\new Staff \ melody

when in fact the problem is way before that - a missing 
bracket.
This doesn't make sense to me, can someone explain it?
Thanks Jay

This example is correct if you remove the second bracket 
from the first triplet you get the error I describe
