One way would be to use another voice for the dynamics:
%%%
\version "2.19"
\language "english"
\score {
<<
\new Staff {
<< { c'2 a2 c'2 f'2 } \\ { s2^\< s2 s2^\mf\> s4 s4^\p } >>
<< { c'2 a2 c'2 f'2 } \\ { s2^\< s2 s2^\mf\> s4 s4^\p } >>
}
\new Staff {
a2^\< f2 a2^\mf^\> c'4( bf) ^\p
a2^\< f2 a2^\mf^\> c'4( bf)^\p
}
\addlyrics {
Al -- le -- lu -- ia
Al -- le -- lu -- ia
}
>>
}
%%%

Hello everyone,
I've written a choral work. There are some places in the score where I
have a four-voice choir singing Alleluia on successive half notes. I've
notated a crescendo hairpin to \mf followed by a decrescendo hairpin to
\p on the final half note. Some times LP engraves the score such that
the decrescendo hairpin is clearly visible, but other times the spacing
between the 3rd and 4th half notes is so minimal that that hairpin is,
well, useless as a visual symbol.
This MWE shows what I mean. The dynamics for the upper voice show the
barely visible decrescendo hairpin while the one for the lower voice is
what's desired.
Ideally I simply (!) need to move/shift the upper voice \p and hairpin
end one quarter note to the right. Yet how to do that?
%% MWE
\version "2.19"

\score {

\new Staff {

Or:
\language "english"
\score {
<<
\new Staff {
c'2^\< a2 c'2^\mf^\> <<f'2 { s4 s4^\p }>>
c'2^\< a2 c'2^\mf^\> <<f'2 { s4 s4^\p }>>
}
\new Staff {
a2^\< f2 a2^\mf^\> c'4( bf) ^\p
a2^\< f2 a2^\mf^\> c'4( bf)^\p
}
\addlyrics {
Al -- le -- lu -- ia

}

}
Cheers,
