You likely mean this thread:

As you may have imagined from the delayed response I hardly find time
to work with or on LilyPond these days.
Attached you'll find the file which I used for some serious
typesetting work (thus the file-name).
Not sure how much it goes beyond what I already had posted.
But it contains no really new approach.
There are explanations in the file, mostly in the comments in \layout
of the example and in the doc-string of `dynamicH´

Could you post a minimal?

The spacing between dynamic and normal text could be set in the
attached file with
DynamicText.details.outer-x-space

Not sure what you mean with your last question. Could you give an example?


I general I'm not sure when I'll find the time to look at it again.
But you never know ...
