I get the attached output, which is lovely in all respects but one: the

PianoStaff instrument name is missing.  The only way I have found to

remedy this problem is to remove both lines containing "\grace s128",
but, of course, then all of the ledger lines are colored red, not just
those in the ambitus.

How to fix?

Move the instrumentName definition to a \with block, like:

\new PianoStaff \with {

        instrumentName = #"Piano"

} <<

    \new Staff \PRh
