By default, LilyPond uses <code>DynamicLineSpanner</code> grobs to vertically align successive dynamic objects like hairpins and dynamic text. However, this is not always wanted.

By default, LilyPond uses DynamicLineSpanner grobs to vertically align successive dynamic objects like hairpins and dynamic text. However, this is not always wanted. By inserting \breakDynamicSpan, which ends the alignment spanner prematurely, this vertical alignment can be avoided.
