Using make-dynamic-script generally works well for me. But now I need to
have "pp e cresc...". This is all well and good, except I would like the
dynamic text to run across the span barlines. The following MWE shows what
I have. The text shies away from the span barline and pushes things around.
I want it to just overlay the bar line as though the line was not there.

As a small explanation, in this context the composer uses span barlines as
'beat lines' not bars. This is why the set Timing.measureLength is there.
Because of this, I am aware that I may be having here a system that is far
from the norm, and so trying to use make-dynamic-script in a context it was
not conceived for, but I do wonder if anybody can help out. Perhaps I am
missing something very simple.

I do want to use a dynamic and not just markup, as I get all the advantages
of alignment and so on if it is a dynamic.
