Hello JM, Why are you not using text spanners for your ritardando?
For example: \relative { \override TextSpanner.font-name = "LilyJazz Text" \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "rit." b'1\startTextSpan e,\stopTextSpan } This is detailed in the NR Section 1.8.1. To set the font globally for the text spanner just out the font name and size overrides and so on in the layout context section.
