First, dynamics are entered _behind_ the event they are supposed to
attach to, not before. Second, if you want a context to engrave
dynamics, it needs the respective engravers. Try
\layout {
\context {
\Lyrics
\consists "Dynamic_engraver"
\consists "Dynamic_align_engraver"
}
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff \context Voice = tune {\repeat volta 2 { c c c c }}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto tune { \set stanza = "1." get\mp \cresc
lou -- der here \f }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto tune { \set stanza = "2." this\ff is very loud }
>>
}
