Hi Ben,

That's because your declaration is a TextScript markup, and by default, a
TextScript will be set flush left-aligned.

"Real" dynamics will be defined by make-dynamic-script, like in

ppdolce =
#(make-dynamic-script
  (markup #:line
          (#:dynamic "pp"
           #:normal-text #:italic "dolce")))

or
ppdolce =
 #(make-dynamic-script
  #{ \markup { \line { \dynamic "pp"
                       \normal-text \italic "dolce" } }
  #})


Positioning isn't quite easy if additional texts as "dolce" or "sempre" or
"poco a poco" are there (just centering will move the pp too far away from
where it should start.
Several possibilities and examples can be found in snippet
