2.18 Piano staves

Piano music is typeset in two staves connected by a brace. Printing such a staff is similar to the polyphonic example in More staves

     << \new Staff { ... }
        \new Staff { ... } >>

but now this entire expression must be interpreted as a PianoStaff

      \new PianoStaff << \new Staff ... >>

Here is a full-fledged example
