Thanks; I just tried it --- it doesn't work. That is, it works in
\lyricmode, but not for stanzas. You see, it has to be be enclosed in
\markup. But \set stanza = "" requires a string as an argument. As far
as I can tell, there is no way to make it accept a markup block
instead.

I've worked around it by attaching dynamics marks to the first two
notes, and overriding their extra-offset. It's an ugly, ugly, hack,
but like all good ugly hacks, it works.
