Thanks much.  This worked very elegantly.  I applyed the \voiceOne, Two etc. 
keyword to get the stems the right way.  I can apply the tweak in the piano 
score section of the manual to get the dynamics centred vertically between the 
staves.  

It seems to me that this is an easier way to tackle the problem than the 
template provided in the manual?

Thanks much,
Jonathan
