I can't find V-offset nor H-offset, you probably mean Y-offset and  
X-offset.

indeed it saves vertical space. my suggestion for the example is then:

-------------8<--------------------------------------------

e4 c g\f c
e4 c g-\tweak #'X-offset #-2.7 -\tweak #'Y-offset #2.5 \f c

-------------8<--------------------------------------------

it needs no extra explanation in the text. thanks for pointing that out.

***************************

side note 1: the \f in the example can't be "pushed" up further with  
Y-offset. if you keep increasing it enough, you'll notice weird spacing  
results, but the dynamic sign will remain attached to the note. the only  
way I can find to move the \f upper is to \override DynamicLineSpanner  
#'outside-staff-priority = ##f ;
but this is irrelevant in the scope of the example though.

side note 2: quoting the NR "A.14 Layout properties":

"extra-offset (pair of numbers)

  A pair representing an offset. This offset is added just before  
outputting the symbol, so the typesetting engine is completely oblivious  
to it"

:-S

you are doing such a damn good work with the GDP. big respect to you for  
that.

greetings,
