At some point, the markup needs to be turned into a post event attached 
to a note by -_^, whether you append it directly or through a tweak (the 
third argument to the \tweak music function must be of type music).

So the following works as well:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.19.47"

nonsf = -\markup { \larger \italic "(non " \dynamic sf \larger \italic ")" }
pizz = -\markup { \larger \italic "pizz." }

{
  e'
  _\tweak self-alignment-X #CENTER
  \tweak parent-alignment-X #CENTER
  \nonsf
  ^\pizz
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Best, Simon
