IIRC, the snippet had some deeper requirements, namely that "pp" and "sempre 
pp" should be lined up exactly, where the "pp" is center-aligned. That's much 
harder than simply setting the dynamic text to left/right aligned.

Simply changing the DynamicText to left-aligned might be possible including 
the equivalent of a \tweak in the scheme code. But then, it might be the case 
that the make-dynamic-script command does not return the dynamic text object, 
and then this approach is not possible, either (like you cannot change e.g. 
the color of a stem using a \tweak, since the note like "c4" does not return 
the stem object).

Cheers,
Reinhld
