Dynamics in Lyrics?

[Peter Chubb]

Hi Folks,
   Is there a simple way to add dynamic markings to lyrics?  In a
   multi-verse song, the dynamics can be different verse to verse.

   I'd like to do something like this:

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \context Voice = tune {\repeat volta 2 { c c c c }}
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto tune  { \set stanza = "1." \mp get \cresc lou -- der 
\f here }
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto tune  { \set stanza = "2."  \ff this is very loud  }
    >>
}

Right now I have to do this, which is ugly:

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \context Voice = tune {\repeat volta 2 { c' c' c' c' }}
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto tune  { \set stanza = "1. "
                                  \markup {{\italic mp} get}
                                  \markup{{\italic cresc}
                                          loud} -- er \markup{{\italic f} here}
                                }
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto tune  { \set stanza = "2. "
                                  \markup {{\italic ff} this}
                                  is very loud
                                }
    >>
}
