You have the braces around your music in the wrong place. The \clef,
key etc are all part of the music expressions. Try this:


% little piano score 2007/01/31 %Fixed, but untested:

\version "2.10.14"

\header {
title = "Piano Score"
}

\score {
   \new PianoStaff <<
   \set PianoStaff.instrumentName = "Piano  "
   \new Staff = "upper" {\clef treble \key c \major \time 4/4  c''2 d''4 bes4 }
   \new Staff = "lower" {\clef bass \key c \major \time 4/4  c4 f2 g4 }
   >>
\layout { }
}
