Hi David,

Since most of this music is not two voices (right and left hand) but

\score {

You're nearly there, but you need a \new Voice for each voice, not just the second voice, i.e.

\score {
        \new PianoStaff <<
        \set PianoStaff.instrumentName = "Piano  "
        \new Staff = "upper" <<
        \new Voice = "upper" \upper
        \new Voice = "upperOne" \upperOne
        >>
        \new Staff = "lower" \lower
        >>
        \layout { }
        \midi { }
}

It's probably easier though to combine the two voices together, e.g.

upper = { << \upperOne \\ \upperTwo >> }

Neil
