Similarly you can force the dynamic to the left, \once\override DynamicText #'X-
offset = #-3  and let Lilypond raise/lower it without regard for the parent 
note \once\override DynamicLineSpanner #'Y-offset = ##f.

There is a similar example in the notation reference manual (section 4.6.2) but 
if you try that, please tell us if it does what you need.  It seems to me that 
extra-offset moves things *after* Lilypond has made all her layout choices, so 
it has effect too late to let the staves come close together.  (This example 
might be out of date, or I might just not get it.)

I think this is the example you are referring to

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/changing-spacing    (3rd 
Example)

This is updated from the 2.12 manuals where the 'tweak' did not in fact make 
any difference and did indeed place the dynamic *after* the spacing had already 
been established. This newer example should all the staff below to be allowed 
to engraved closer.

Although I am not sure this is what the user wanted - that is they appeared to 
want to set this dynamic to have no padding around it, but I don't know how to 
do that or indeed if you can.
