Hmm.  But what about custom dynamics created using
make-dynamic-script?
(http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/notation/expressive-marks-attached-to-notes#new-dynamic-marks)
I mean, isn't Pango necessary to create them?  If so, it seems to me
that what you suggest will result in having two types of dynamics:
simple stencil dynamics and advanced Pango dynamics.  This doesn't
sound good to me.
I think the question is: should we rather try to "break inside Pango"
to be able to create precise outlines for everything that is processed
by Pango?  The advantage of this approach would be that lyrics and
markups would be skylined even better.

cheers,
Janek
