Firstly, please remember to reply-all, rather than to me indivually.

Secondly, could I recommend a study of the lilypond manuals?  For example, I 
suggested using "set melismaBusyProperties".  This is documented in the 
Notation Reference and shows how slurs are ignored and a lyric is placed on 
each note.  A cut down example is:

<<
\new Voice = "melody" {
\set melismaBusyProperties = #'()
c''4 ( d''4 )
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" {
a b
}

which appears to work exactly as you want: see the attached image. 
Similarly, searching for "dynamics context" will lead to:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/expressive-marks-attached-to-notes#dynamics

which says:

"A Dynamics context is available to engrave dynamics on their own horizontal 
line. Use spacer rests to indicate timing. (Notes in a Dynamics context will 
also take up musical time, but will not be engraved.) The Dynamics context 
can usefully contain some other items such as text scripts, text spanners, 
and piano pedal marks."
