Perhaps better if this is a preference/parameter, with the default being *left-aligned* not *dynamic-aligned*. (I would personally keep it left-aligned, and then use the edition-engraver to tweak the position of the rare "outliers".) > With something like "poco f", it can be visually unclear where the f is > supposed to begin — at the beginning of "poco" or at the "f"? That's a bit > clearer of the dynamic itself is always the alignment point (though I prefer > to always have the dynamic first for maximum clarity). Gould (pg. 107) addresses this. There are definitely more ambiguities and potential problems with dynamic-aligning such texts than there are "safe situations" (e.g., with preceding rests) — which is why, like you, I always prefer to have the dynamic first (when possible).
