Thanks, this is exactly what I'm looking for! It looks like
Dynamic_align_engraver is just positioning the dynamics of both parts
to the same vertical position so that they overlap. There are a few
places where the dynamics differ. I thought about using
\once \override DynamicLineSpanner.direction = #UP
on the snare part for those spots, but it seems that
Dynamic_align_engraver cancels that out. Is it somehow possible to
temporarily disable the Dynamic_align_engraver in those spots to make
that happen?
