Oops, my bad. I should have tried that and not discarded that thought without 
further investigation. I had a knot in my brain and thought that simply 
shifting would break with different staff sizes, but of course the shift is 
relativ to the staff size, too, so it works independent of the particular 
staff size...

Now, I'm only looking for a way to set this property directly inside my \sempp 
function, so that one does not need to add the \once\override manually 
whenever one uses \sempp.
I could have used something like this already in lots of places, where I need 
to apply the same adjustment to some markup/dynamics, but can't set it 
globally. Is there a way to do this?

Btw, Trevor's solution almost works in this regard, with the only problem that 
another dynamic text on the next note is shifted down, because the \hspace is 
still in effect... (see attached file)

Cheers,
Reinhold
