Dear Robin,
made some more tests.
Your code works well but it doesn't solve the problem because it returns the "absolute" location of the notes while on the other hand in the variable where you write the dynamic you use a relative location. For example if I want to put a dynamic on the quarter number 3 and on the quarter number 17 I can't write
s4*3\p
s4*17\f
but I have to write
I'm sorry but it's my fault. I proposed a possible solution that was simply not correct. And now I understand better the reason for the thread Kieren linked.
I probably have to go back to study the edition engraver :)

Here is a primitive include file for you to play around with.
When hovering with the mouse
- over a notehead
- over a barline (inside a staff)
it shows such a position as (an inconvenient) fraction.
Cheers,
