I almost always end up with separate scores for layout and MIDI.

dynamics = { s4\f\> s4*3\! s4\p s4 }
right = \relative c'' { c d e f g a }
left = \relative c' { c d e f g a }

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

\score {
  \new PianoStaff <<
    \new Staff = "up" <<
      \right
      \dynamics
    >>
    \new Staff = "down" <<
      \left
      \dynamics
    >>
  >>
  \midi {}
}

... but see <URL:

I don’t know the answer to that, sorry.
