Notation reference, 1.3.1 is where I got the example which I have been  
using since at least 2.12, because  centering such a new dynamic is  
probably rarer than having it left-aligned, I think it would be useful to  
note that there's an easy way of doing this. A minor change from the  
example in the documentation.
\version "2.14.0"

rinforzaF = #(make-dynamic-script
            (markup #:normal-text "rinforza"
                    #:dynamic "f"))
tweekRinforzaF = \tweak DynamicText #'self-alignment-X #-1  
#(make-dynamic-script
   (markup #:normal-text "rinforza"
           #:dynamic "f"))
\relative c' { f16 f f f f f f f f\rinforzaF f f f f f f f }

\relative c' { f16 f f f f f f f f\tweekRinforzaF f f f f f f f }

I think the extension that happen to lilypond are a good thing, I have no  
problem with them. I don't have to understand all of them. I know that when  
these extensions happen, updating the documentation becomes an extremely  
arduous task. From a certain point of view, it's not really feasible to  
update everything in the documentation that's easier because of something  
that's changed in lilypond. I think, however, this would be a great place  
to make a change that certainly would have helped me.
