LilyPond uses <code>DynamicLineSpanner</code> grobs to horizontally align successive dynamic objects like hairpins and dynamic text, even if they are positioned on different sides of a staff. This connection cannot be broken, contrary to the vertical alignment (see snippet [[Breaking vertical alignment of dynamics and textscripts]]).

There are two solutions to circumvent the problem.

* Modify the <code>shorten-pair</code> property of the <code>Hairpin</code> grob to compensate the offset by which the hairpin was moved.
* Put the two dynamic objects into two different voices.

Both solutions are demonstrated in this snippet.
