Hi,
I use Graham (Percival)'s "make-dynamic-extra", which has two main
advantages :
1. The dynamic only, and not the whole "dynamic + text", is centered
on the note (i.e. like a "normal" dynamic).
2. The dynamic is affecting the MIDI.
IIRC it did not have any drawbacks, but I haven't tried it recently
(maybe new versions of LilyPond brought some internal changes
unsuitable to "make-dynamic-extra").
Cheers,
Xavier
