You can use \offset on DynamicText.X-offset.

Silly me.
Of course; the problem was that I overlooked the \version 2.19.23 in my test file, which is the last version in which this does not work. Since David K’s fix (thanks a lot!) for issue 4516, it has been working.
Sorry!

If you do need the name, try:

test =

#(define-music-function (ev) (ly:music?)

   (if (eq? (ly:music-property ev 'name) 'AbsoluteDynamicEvent)

And thanks for that, nevertheless.

Find attached what I’ve now got as a result, however intermediary it may prove. The example is of course far from any actual use case, but it demonstrates the functionality well.

Yours, Simon
