I'm setting a song with multiple stanzas, in which I would like to
include dynamics and articulations (breathing, phrasing) within the
text.  After much hunting around the docs and snippets, I've got this
far:


        /version "2.19.2"
        ...
        secondverse = \lyricmode {
            \set stanza = #"2."
            \markup { \dynamic mf } Re -- mem -- ber me, a -- lace,
            \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.tickmark" }
            And lat all rig -- our pass
            \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.tickmark" }
            That I may prove in you some love
            \markup { \musicglyph #"ties.lyric.default" }
            To my joy and so -- lace
            True love to move I most be -- hove
            \markup { \dynamic p } Re -- mem -- ber me, a -- lace.
        }
        

but the dynamics and articulations are taking space in the lyric
underlay as if they were syllables in their own right.

How should I solve this?

As a subsidiary question: Verses 4 & 5 of this song are set beneath the
score as markup columns.  I'd like to do something similar in those
verse also.
