I think my problem is that my score is layered differently in that the 
music isn't contained within variables outside the \score block. It 
looks something like this:

-----------------------------
EXAMPLE CODE START
-----------------------------

\score
    <<
        \new PianoStaff = "pianoI" \with {
            instrumentName = "Piano"
            shortInstrument = "Pno."
        } <<
            \new Staff = "pianoIRH" <<
                \new Voice = "mvmntIVoiceI" \relative c' {
                    \clef treble
                    \key c \major
                    \time 4/4

                    \oneVoice ...music...
                }
                \new Voice = "mvmntIVoiceII" \relative c' {

                    \voiceTwo ...music...
                }
            >>
            \new Dynamics = "pianoID" {
                ...dynamics...
            }
            \new Staff = "pianoILH" <<
                \new Voice = "mvmntIVoiceIII" \relative c {
                    \clef bass
                    \key c \major

                    \oneVoice ...music...
                }
                \new Voice = "mvmntIVoiceIV" \relative c {

                    \voiceTwo ...music...
                }
            >>
            \new Dynamics = "pianoIP" {
                ...pedal...
            }
        >>
    >>
    \layout {
        ...layout options...
    }
}

EXAMPLE CODE END

So when I tried doing what you suggested but applying it to my 
formatting choices, I failed.

Does this clarify anything?
