Thanks James. Works a treat now. However, this means the error is in the template in the Learning Manual, since I copied it straight over.
The first few lines of the first \score block should be: \score { \new PianoStaff = "PianoStaff_pf" << \new Staff = "Staff_pfUpper" << \global \upper >> \new Dynamics = "Dynamics_pf" \dynamics \new Staff = "Staff_pfLower" <<\global \lower >> \new Dynamics = "pedal" \pedal >> A subsidiary question.
