You demonstrated that a solution is possible, but quite inconsistent with
the lilypond language: You have to write the dynamic BEFORE the note,
although it should be printed AFTER the note...

In your example, what you want is note with "p", hairpin start, hairpin
end. But what you have to write is hairpin start, hairpin end, note with
"p".

So, yes, such hacks as workarounds are certainly possible, but IMO they
currently don't really fit well with the general concepts of the lilypond
language (i.e. all dynamics are written using postfix notation)...

Cheers,
Reinhold
