[lilypond-user] Manual clarity question

[Chuckk Hubbard]

p. 11 of the LP manual:
Warning: Every piece of LilyPond input needs to have { curly braces }
placed around the input.

p. 13 of the LP manual:
\relative c' {
c d e f
g a b c
}

The manual goes on to say that \relative c' { ... } is the only part
missing from most of the examples in the manual, and that it's the
only part that need be added to make the examples work.
So just to clarify; the ONLY things allowed to not be surrounded by
curly braces are "\relative" statements?  OR, the only things allowed
to not be surrounded by curly braces are escaped function names?
