Can not get '\override Score.BarNumber.break-visibility' to work

[Markus Baertschi]

I'm trying to get bar numbers on every second bar get syntax error from stuff straight out of the documentation.

/tmp/frescobaldi-qhLT9N/tmpOW4D8u/Le_vieux_chalet.ly:27:29: error: syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting SCM_FUNCTION or SCM_IDENTIFIER or SCM_TOKEN 
\override Score.BarNumber
      .break-visibility = ##(#t #t #t)

Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea where to look for a solution. I'm sure it is something very basic.

Here the entire file:

\header {

\line { LilyPond \simple #(lilypond-version) (http://lilypond.org/) }

}

}
