This doesn't work. I tried
\once \override DynamicText #'outside-staff-priority = ##f
and
\once \override DynamicText #'outside-staff-priority = #'()
in my example recently sent to the list. Both have no effect.
That's right -- you need to override DynamicLineSpanner instead of DynamicText (see the following example). The reason is that every DynamicText is wrapped in a DynamicLineSpanner and the Staff's VerticalAxisGroup only sees the DynamicLineSpanner, not the DynamicText. It's a little unnatural, but I don't see another way to implement it.
