Indeed, this did the trick:

    f1
  \once \override DynamicText #'X-offset = #'-5.0
  \once \override DynamicLineSpanner #'Y-offset = #'-5.0
  \once \override DynamicLineSpanner #'outside-staff-priority = ##f
  \once \override DynamicLineSpanner #'avoid-slur = ##f
    c1\ff( | f1) |

Thanks for the help.  Quite complicated IMHO...

However, I get a warning

  Ignoring grob for slur. avoid-slur not set?

which isn't appropriate in this case since I explicitly override the
property.  Can you disable it (at least in such situations)?

I wonder whether it makes sense to introduce a property, say,
`offset', which is the same as `extra-offset' but which actually takes
part in formatting.  Due to the central role of X- and Y-offset it's
probably a bad idea to directly manipulate them.  We would have a
workflow similar to this:

   . compute X-offset and Y-offset of the grob as usual

   . apply `offset'

   . finish formatting

   . apply `extra-offset'

The `offset' property would be quite convenient (and predictable) for
the end user.  However, my point of view is quite naive since I lack
knowledge of lilypond internals.
