You could manually adjust such extreme situations. In a real world
example you'd need a new regR for each spacing, like this

\version "2.19.27"

regR = \markup \normal-text {
  \upright R
  \raise #0.7 {
    \override #'(font-encoding . fetaBraces)
    \lookup #"brace140"
  }
}

\score {
  \new PianoStaff <<
    \new Staff \relative c' {
%      c4 d e f |
      c4 d e,,, f''' |
      g a b c |
    }
    \new Dynamics {
      s1 -\tweak Y-offset #-3.5 \p -\tweak self-alignment-X #2 -\regR
    }
    \new Staff \relative c {
      c4 d e f |
      g a b c |
    }
  >>
}

Such a regR could be parameterized with the size of the brace as
parameter. We then would need a function to determine the used up
vertical space, before that regP function is invoked...

Isn't that a tricky one for the scheme gurus on this list ? :)

Kind regards,
Michael
