I was looking at something else just now in the LilyPond documentation
and came across what you do if you want the notes to move apart to allow
for the dynamics (one possible solution) ...
In Denemo at the beginning of the dynamics staff I used
Directives->Insert LilyPond and put in this text

\override DynamicText.extra-spacing-width = #'(-6 . 6)

That stopped the collisions - smaller values than 6 might work ...

If this looks like what you would want, I can add it to the Denemo
commands.
