Yeah, I don't think Voice supports instrumentName; my bad. I'd recommend
replacing the \new Voice with a \new Staff. Aside from working properly
with certain \with properties, I personally think it makes more sense.
It's certainly more consistent with the piano staff, at least.
I would also recommend using \new for creating new contexts, and only
use \context for referring to existing ones. You can use \with
{instrumentName} on the PianoStaff as well, by the way.
Oh, and please reply to the list as well. In Thunderbird, it's [Reply
List] instead of [Reply]; it's probably something similar in other clients.

Thanks..
However, I did not succeed in getting the name to print:

I was looking at the Staff headword snippet [0.02458] for an idea,
but I am not understanding it correctly...Would I need to put things
in a \context Staff command:
<<
\context Staff = "melody" <<
\set Staff.instrumentName = "Melody" >>
\context PianoStaff <<
\set PianoStaff.instrumentName = #"Piano "
\new Staff = "upper" \upper
\new Staff = "lower" \lower
