The automatic behaviour is undesirable, since it introduces extra
space before the dynamic to prevent the collision.  You're unlikely to
see this in engraved music.

Ideally, the collision would be handled by shifting the dynamic
automatically, taking into account any further dynamics which the
initial one might collide with if moved (in that case, a whiteout
would be more likely, but the shifting is preferred.)
