Well I thought this would work, but evidently not.

%%% Begin
\version "2.19.83"

notesUp = { c'4 c' r r }
notesDown = { r4 r c' c' }
dynamics = { s4\fff s s\ppp s}

\score {
  <<
    \new PianoStaff <<
      \new Staff="up" \notesUp
      \new Dynamics \dynamics
      \new Staff="down" \notesDown
    >>
  >>
  \layout { }
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff = "up" << \notesUp \dynamics >>
    \new Staff = "down" << \notesDown \dynamics >>
  >>
  \midi { }
}
%%% End
