For the benefit of search-engine-land, the way to do this is to use a
separate dynamics context. Like this:
dynA={ s4\p s4\< s2 s4\mf s2. }
tune=\relative c' { c4 d e f g r2. }
words = \lyricmode { some sil -- ly words yah }
\score {
<<
\new Staff \context Voice = tune \tune
\new Dynamics \dynA
\lyricsto tune \new Lyrics \words
>>
}
The Dynamics context looks better above the words; if it's below with
Lilypond 2.15.3 it sometimes collides with the next staff down (assuming
multi-stave systems).
