Hi Saul,

Perhaps better if this is a preference/parameter, with the default being
*left-aligned* not *dynamic-aligned*.
(I would personally keep it left-aligned, and then use the edition-engraver to
tweak the position of the rare "outliers".)

Gould (pg. 107) addresses this. There are definitely more ambiguities and
potential problems with dynamic-aligning such texts than there are "safe
situations" (e.g., with preceding rests) — which is why, like you, I always
prefer to have the dynamic first (when possible).
Cheers,
Kieren.
