I thought the typical way was:
  5. add a bunch of s16 or s32 to the dynamic {}
    < { c1 } { s32*16\p  s\ff } >

... on second thought, this method might only work if you have
actual notes, such as
    < { c1 } { \hideNotes c32*16\p  c\ff } >
which of course could screw up other parts of the formatting.
