The problem I have with it is that I often find the distance between the dynamics and the staff to be very large and for no apparent reason.

So my question is: how is the best way to handle this? How can I bring the Dynamic context closer to the Staff but still avoiding collisions? Are there any overrides I could use for that?

Although it might not be apparent what's going on, there is a logical explanation. In the first instance you are attaching the dynamics to the NoteColumn (giving it vertical flexibility, independent of other dynamics instances), the second uses a non-staff context which has its own spacing relative to other [non]staff contexts. You can read about this in detail here:
