Trevor has requested an example to help look into this.  This is fairly 
minimal:

{
 \new Staff = "label"
 <<
   \new Voice {  \repeat unfold 4 c''4
   <<
     {
      R1 r2 r4 c''4
     }
     {
     \new Staff \with {
       \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
       alignAboveContext = #"label"
       \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -3)
       fontSize = #-2
     }
     <<
       \new Voice {
         r2 a'2 \repeat unfold 3 a'4 r4
       }
     >>
     }
   >>
   \repeat unfold 4 c''4
   }
 \new Dynamics  \with { alignAboveContext = "label" }
 {
    s1 s1 s2 s4 s4 \ff s1
 }
 >>
}

The attached image shows the proble of the dynamic being over the ossia, 
rather than the permanent stave.
