Same thing, the dynamics are centered under the left edge of the notes.

The attached example shows:

for \new Dynamics:
 the forte is squeesed between note and lyrics

for within the notes:
 p and f does not line up well

for << \Mb \Ds >>:
 the p and f are displaced to the left

for the markup version:
 s_\markup{ \dynamic f }\> becomes above each other

I think I like the \new Dynamics version best if I could get the same
space above and under the dynamics as for the within notes case.

Note, the hairpin ends in the same place.

Switched today from

That example worked without a problem.
