And the answer is, "No, I can't incorporate into the larger score."

Follow-up question then: can this type of Dynamics directive be applied in
a temporary polyphonic passage? Because that's what I'm trying to do. Final
four measures split into two voices, explicitly created:

<<
\new Voice = "Solo" { \voiceOne } \new Voice = "sopranoOoos" { \voiceTwo }
>>

If I put \new Dynamics {} before or after either of these two \new Voice
inside the polyphonic code LP puts the dynamics beneath the entire 4-stave
score. If I add \with { alignAboveContext = #"sopranos } LP puts the
dynamics exactly as originally, immediately above the staff, but below the
lyrics, so nothing gained by the added code.
