The best way to achieve this is to use a Dynamics context to hold the dynamics. This is very briefly described right at the end of http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/expressive-marks-attached-to-notes#dynamics immediately before Predefined commands. To see it work, use the example there and add a dynamic mark to the spacer rest corresponding to the low E. Note you can give music containing notes to a Dynamic context - they'll be ignored, so if your music is in variables it should be easy to add.
