The general default for DynamicText.extra-spacing-width is '(+inf.0 .
-inf.0), see IR
But in StaffGroup and GrandStaff it is set #f, see IR and/or engraver-init.ly

For the reason:
https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/621/


So why not reenable thegeneral default? Makes for:

ppecresc = \tweak DynamicText.self-alignment-X #LEFT
\tweak DynamicText.extra-spacing-width #'(+inf.0 . -inf.0)
#(make-dynamic-script ppecrescText)
