Ooh!  Neat!  For some reason, this only seems to work for some of the
dynamics.  They all move to the left, but only some of them move down.
Is there a way to tell LilyPond to force them down, even if it thinks
they'll collide?  Also, do you happen to know how to bring dynamic
marks a bit closer to the staff by default?  Finally, are there any
other overrides you suggest for vocal pieces?

Thanks.
