I think there may be a simpler way: if you have some music 

MyMusic = ....

and then you put it in both the usual context *and* the a Dynamic
Context then you get aligned dynamics in the dynamic context. You only
then have to make all the dynamics not print in the usual context, for
which I'm sure someone here can suggest the incantation.
That is it would look something like this:

<< UsualContext { \override dynamics invisible \MyMusic}
   DynamicsContext { \MyMusic }
>>
