Sorry I haven't been clear.

Here is a concrete description/example of what I want, and what I would say 
"works":

1. Attached is a screenshot of a current score I'm engraving.

2. I've used \dynText to create the dynamic "mp intensely".

3. Since the layout is such that this falls at the very end of a system, it 
messes up the horizontal spacing.

4. Using the edition-engraver, I'd like to set self-alignment-X = #RIGHT (which 
would allow the note spacing to normalize) and then use either X-offset or 
extra-offset to nudge the dynamic back to the right (to approximate the 
"proper" alignment). If I can do that, the mechanism (i.e., function + post-hoc 
tweak) "works".

Although I clearly did not communicate my intention well enough, I knew 
*exactly* what I wanted before I started poking around.

Thanks,
Kieren.
