This is too well known to need an example, indeed one is given in the
documentation

http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/expressive-marks-attached-to-notes#dynamics

where the solution is discussed

A Dynamics context is available to engrave dynamics on their own
horizontal line. Use spacer rests to indicate timing. (Notes in a
Dynamics context will also take up musical time, but will not be
engraved.) The Dynamics context can usefully contain some other items
such as text scripts, text spanners, and piano pedal marks.
