In a large orchestral piece it was noticed that a dynamic under a note
was slightly displaced to the right. It turned out that this was
because many staffs below there was a chord with notes on both sides of
the stem (because only a semitone apart).
The dynamic was placed in a dynamics staff as there were hairpins that
it had to align with.
Here is an MWE which illustrates the problem.

%many more staffs follow in the original then:
