You could switch to Italian note names temporarily… Just kidding: the
sane solution of using quote marks has been already covered in two
replies.
\version "2.25.13"
\language italiano
f = -\tweak color #red \f
\language english
{ b'4 4 2\f }
That's hilarious. David, have you been hoarding other tricks? /s

Additionally, how would I be able to change the text while
maintaining the MIDI effect? I tried using \tweak DynamicText.text
but it doesn't seem to override the text...
Since f is a pitch, you need to put it in quotes. Consider:
\version "2.25.13"
"f" =
-\tweak color #red
-\tweak text \markup \circle f
\f
{ b'4 4 2\f }

Thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for.
I had already found the quote method in the Lilypond source code, but I
wasn't sure what \tweak I should use.
Thanks!

Optimally, dynamics are defined as dynamics not markup:
\version "2.25.11"
% just dynamics
fzp = #(make-dynamic-script "fzp")
ffzp = #(make-dynamic-script "ffzp")
sfzp = #(make-dynamic-script "sfzp")
sffz = #(make-dynamic-script "sffz")
sfffz = #(make-dynamic-script "sfffz")
% dynamic–dynamic
pdashff = #(make-dynamic-script "p–ff")
mfdashff = #(make-dynamic-script "mf–ff")
fdashp = #(make-dynamic-script "f–p")
% text+dynamic
piuf = -\tweak self-alignment-X #0.85 #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:concat (
#:normal-text #:italic #:fontsize 0.8 "più" #:hspace 0.3 "f" )))
moltoff = -\tweak self-alignment-X #0.8 #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:concat
( #:normal-text #:italic #:fontsize 0.8 "molto" #:hspace 0.3 "ff" )))
% examples
\layout { ragged-right = ##f indent = 0 }
{
c1\fzp
c1\sfffz
c1\pdashff
c1\moltoff
c1\piuf
}
Hope that helps!
Kieren.

% sforzandi

moltoff = _\markup{

piuf = _\markup{
