I have a score beginning with an 8th note pickup and want to place a \mark above the first note using edition-engraver. Edition-engraver appears to consider the first complete bar to be bar "1" and the timing mark "2 0/4" places tweaks at the beginning of the second complete bar. Therefore, my

aligning dynamics to lowest dynamic mark in system

I would like to align all dynamics within each system with just enough padding to avoid collisions. I could do this by using \override DynamicLineSpanner.staff-padding = #x at the beginning of each system, but if I do anything that changes the location of system breaks I'll have to start over.
