Here is the PDF w/o overrides:
http://paste.przemoc.net/lilypond/piano-centered-dynamics/piano-centered-dynamics.pdf

I've noticed another thing just now, after zooming in.
Regardless of the overrides, first half note in the lower staff
actually does not line up with quater note in the upper staff.
Adding \override SpacingSpanner.uniform-stretching = ##t into \layout
{ \context { ... } } does not change anything.

I'm not sure, though, whether this slight displacement can be
considered as a bug or whether it's within acceptable boundaries.

I've checked mentioned earlier overrides with 2.18.2 (on Windows 7 Pro
64-bit), and they actually can work here too, but only if they're used
together! :)
