This is how I deal with it. Not exactly automatic, but works well for me :-)
\version "2.19.15"
dynPadYOn =
#(define-music-function (parser location padding)(number?)
#{
\override DynamicLineSpanner.staff-padding = $padding
#})
dynPadYOff =
#(define-music-function (parser location)()
#{
\revert DynamicLineSpanner.staff-padding
#})
testMusic = {
c'4 g c'\< a'\f | c'4\> g c' a'\p
}
{
\testMusic | \break
\dynPadYOn #4
\testMusic | \break
\dynPadYOff
\testMusic
}
