I play with #555.  I change it to #0 (or #5) and it works.

Question:  what is the difference of # number #555 and #0 (or #5)?

Well, in this case, none.  Neither DynamicText nor Slur has a default setting of 'outside-staff-priority.  So any value you give to Slur.outside-staff-priority (even -3000) is going to get the same result.  Now, of course, if you were trying to get a RehearsalMark to be under the Slur, you'd have to select a value for Slur.outside-staff-priority that's greater than the value for RehearsalMark, which is 1500.
