Hi Will,

Try replacing ...

\context PianoStaff <<
        \context Staff = upper \upper
        \context Staff = dynamics \dynamics % this line needs to change
        \context Staff = lower \lower
        \context Dynamics = pedal \pedal
    >>

... with ...

\context PianoStaff <<
        \context Staff = upper \upper
        \context Dynamics = dynamics \dynamics % here's the right version
        \context Staff = lower \lower
        \context Dynamics = pedal \pedal
    >>

... noting carefully to put your \dynamics in the Dynamics context
you've built (rather than in the Staff context).
