Just a quick thought - if I with the temporary polyphony construct shown in
your example can direct TextSpanner content to a special Dynamics context -
would it then be possible to skip the Dynamic context (and the spacer
definitions that go with it) and just use the topmost staff as the target?
Or does it have to be a Dynamics and not a Staff context to work?

I could of cause also "fill" the dynamics context with the music for of the
defined voices - but then I would assume that dynamics already defined in
that voice would also be printed. Is that correct? 

If I add the music from the topmost staff to a separate dynamics context
(placed above that staff), will dynamics context then be printed twice? 

An extra potential challenge - I use \RemoveEmptyStaves since there are long
sections with empty bars in various voices (the topmost 4 voices form a solo
quartet that is not active before bar 70).
