You can see the story here

I prefer to first ask LilyPond to move note-columns so the dynamics clear

  \override GrandStaff.DynamicText #'extra-spacing-width = #'(-0.5 . 0.5)

Then in specific cases I can choose to offset the dynamic from the note

   \once\override DynamicText #'X-offset = #-0.5

and the note-column goes right back where it belongs, based on rhythm, if I
offset enough.  (LilyPond is not yet smart enough to automatically choose
the offset.)
