RE: How to insert a simple "rit."?

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

Kenneth,

Exactly where do you want to insert the "rit."?
After the "cresc."?
If so, does this work?

\version "2.20.0"
\relative c'' {
    c1_\markup {\italic  "cresc. rit."} | d | b | c
}

Hi;

  Looks like I must be missing something obvious in the lilypond docs 
(2.20.2)...

  How to insert a "rit."?

I saw the following in the "Hiding the extender line for text dynamics" snippet.

\relative c'' {
  \override DynamicTextSpanner.style = #'none
  \crescTextCresc
  c1\< | d | b | c\!
}

Obviously snippet pertains to dynamics; is there something similar for tempo 
adjustments?

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott
