I don't understand any of the rest of that, but this works brilliantly:

frisoluto = \tweak DynamicText #'self-alignment-X #-1 #(
   make-dynamic-script (
    markup #:line (
      #:left-align
      #:dynamic "f"
      #:hspace -1
      #:normal-text
      #:italic ", risoluto" 
    )
  )
)

Thanks tons!
