Piano template with centered dynamics

From LilyPond wiki

Many piano scores have the dynamics centered between the two staves. Using the Dynamics context this is quite easy to achieve.

\version "2.24"

global = {
  \key c \major
  \time 4/4
}

upper = \relative c'' {
  \clef treble
  a4 b c d
}

lower = \relative c {
  \clef bass
  a2 c
}

dynamics = {
  s2\fff\> s4 s\!\pp
}

pedal = {
  s2\sustainOn s\sustainOff
}

\new PianoStaff = "PianoStaff_pf" <<
  \new Staff = "right" << \global \upper >>
  \new Dynamics = "dynamics" \dynamics
  \new Staff = "left" << \global \lower >>
  \new Dynamics = "pedal" \pedal
