Hi,

<< \Ms \Ds >>  % without the "\\"
will behave as if you wrote the dynamics together with the notes.

Which version are you using?
There used to be an issue that made dynamics attached to spacer rests
come out to the left (compared to attached directly to the notes),
but it has been fixed in LilyPond version 2.15.24.
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1861

Since current stable version is 2.16.1, you should not have
encountered this issue, unless you are using a very old version.

Cheers,
Xavier
