Try with G_ instead of _. This change happened a while ago ( https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/commit/a9fef9dee1399c24505d2f74623c9d15bb306ff7) but old code continued working with _ until a recent version. I'm not sure exactly why.
In any case, seems like this still needs to be updated in the documentation.
