Two different but related questions?

1.  How do I get dynamic markings to show up centered --- associated
    with the music rather than a note?  If I start my piano piece with:

          \partial 4 b'8-\mp a8

the mp marking shows up quite close to the b, when I'd really like it
centered between the two staffs.


2.  I have a two measure two voice section in the treble clef that
    looks like:

          < \context Voice = VA { \stemUp
            fis8 gis a dis, e4 b
            \< [gis'8 e\staccato] [b' gis\staccato] \! cis4-\mf b8 a 
            }

            \context Voice = VB { \stemDown
            a,2 gis
            b8 r e r e
            }
          >

The problem is that the second staccato mark in the upper voice is
dangerously close to the associated eighth-note rest in the second
voice.  I've tried playing with Voice.padding, to no avail.  Either
I'm not using it correctly, or there's a problem here because the rest
and the stacatto are actually in two different voices?  How do I deal
with this?

Thanks,

rif
