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 } Mark -----Original Message----- From: lilypond-user [mailto:lilypond-user-bounces+carsonmark=ca.rr....@gnu.org] On Behalf Of Kenneth Wolcott Sent: Sunday, July 5, 2020 7:19 PM To: lilypond-user@gnu.org Subject: How to insert a simple "rit."? 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
