The easiest solution is to add some padding:
\property Staff.DynamicLineSpanner \override #'padding = #3
If you want it exactly between the two staffs, it's more tricky.
I seem to recall that someone came up with a clever solution
some months ago, one possibility would be to add a lyrics line
and set the lyrics font style to dynamic.

The padding is a Grob property, so you have to specify which
grob (graphical object) you want to apply it to, for example
\property Voice.Script \override #'padding = #2.0

The \include "paper23.ly" command should appear at the
top level of the file, not within a \paper{...} section.
There's no need to copy the contents of this file.
