Erwin, I won't touch the chords question. I always hover over the manual whenever I want to do something more than basic chords.
For the ritarando, I would use a \mark instead of a text object. If you are using 1.7.x you can use the new \markup syntax to select an italic font. It is much easier than the old syntax. My scores contain, 2 variant copies of the global voice that is mentioned in the tutorial. One puts in breaks and marks. So you put the ritardando in here. It is only used in \score blocks that are for printed output. The other has no breaks or marks but has \tempo changes where need to match ritardandi, fermati, etc. It is used only in \score blocks that are for midi output. If you combine the 2 global voices, then you get warnings that lilypond is junking the tempo requests when doing the processing for printable output. By doing the trick that I use, the generated midi's tempo reflects the markup. Is anyone else doing "fancy" tricks with their source to make the midi output more correctly correspond to the score (or to how a piece would typically be performed)?
