Really? Wow, I wish you had replied with this when I wrote "
Now, if a music function can apply to the
current note, i.e.
c1-\at{ s4 s s\f s }
then I'd be much happier." on 2012 Sep 13:

Evidently Reinhold isn't the only person who doesn't "even bother
to reply".

Are you speaking of the implementation or the music? I consider
dynamics to be associated with moments of time within a voice.

Hmm. Something like this:
\p \accent( c4 \legato fis8. \f )d16
?
(additional spaces added to demonstrate which commands go with
which notes)
