At least in 1.6, 2.0 and 2.2.1, those being the versions I've used the most, as far as I can recall dynamics and other textual markup have a tendency to overlap[1]; I'm not sure about textual crescendi, though. I usually do something along the lines of[2] \dynamicUp c4\f-\markup{ }-\markup{ }-\markup{fubar} ...to avoid the collision. But it's an ugly hack. (I haven't cc-ed bug-lilypond, because I don't read that list and I don't have and actual, minimal example right now.) [1] assuming dynamics and text markup have the same default direction, e.g. up, but in vocal scores this is almost without exception the case. As I exclusively edit vocal scores, this bug bites me all the time. In most instrumental music I guess dynamics will go down while other textual markup will go up, so that no conflict appears there.
