Thanks Kieran,
that's very helpful.  I've added

     (ly:music-set-property! dynamic 'tweaks (acons 'X-extent 0 (ly:music-property dynamic 'tweaks)))

in the appropriate place in the snippet.  I noted some fiddling with X-extent in one of the snippets, but didn't understand it, and got a bit confused by thinking that it was already set to zero (well, negative infinity) according to the discussion of grob sizing in the Learning Manual (section 4.4.3).

all the best
