Hi Ryan,

I think the version-statement is wrong. 2.14.2 don't has \tuplet.

\newSpacingSection as Simon already wrote will help.

Although the mix of native DynamicText and TextScript for
custom-dynamics is not nice.
See NR for make-dynamic-script.

Also, you could try to use similar to textLengthOn:

dynamicLengthOn = {
  \override DynamicText.extra-spacing-width = #'(-0.0 . 0.4)
  \override DynamicText.extra-spacing-height = #'(-inf.0 . +inf.0)
}

dynamicLengthOff = {
  \override DynamicText.extra-spacing-width = #'(+inf.0 . -inf.0)
  \override DynamicText.extra-spacing-height = #'(0 . 0)
}

Cheers,
  Harm
