Hi Joram and David,

David *is* using the right syntax: “rit” (etc.) is a tempo marking
(MetronomeMark), not an arbitrary text markup (TextScript).

Look at break-align-symbols, e.g.
%%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.19.30"
\language "english"
markMusic = {
\time 4/4
\tempo "Aligned to TimeSignature (default)"
c''4 4 4 4 \break
\time 3/4
\tempo "rit. (default)"
c''4 4 4 \break
\time 3/4
\once \override Score.MetronomeMark.break-align-symbols = #'(custos)
\tempo "rit. (tweaked)"
c''4 4 4 \break
\time 4/4
\tempo "rit. (back to default)"
c''4 4 4 4
}
\score { \markMusic }
%%%% SNIPPET ENDS
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
