To quote from the original mail starting this thread:

    Hi all,

    In the snippet below, I want to tweak a dynamic grob created using
    Shevek's dynText function
    (cf. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2017-07/msg00043.html).
    But unfortunately, tweaks don't seem to affect it.

    How can I change the function such that I can still apply tweaks
    (X-offset, self-alignment-X, etc.) to the combined dynamic-text grob
    "at runtime"?

    %%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
    \version "2.19.64"

[...]

    { c''1-\tweak self-alignment-X #RIGHT \dynText "mp" "test" }
    %%%  SNIPPET ENDS

That makes two of us.
