In these cases, using a tweak to the Y-offset of the text or dynamics will help. \version "2.24.2" rightHandUpper = \relative { r4 e' f f8 a } rightHandLower = \relative { <b d f>2 <b d> } leftHandUpper = \relative { e2 <e a> } leftHandLower = \relative { e,1 } dynamics = { s4 s2.-\tweak Y-offset -5 -\markup \italic rit. } \score { \new PianoStaff << \new Staff << \rightHandUpper \\ \rightHandLower >> \new Dynamics \dynamics \new Staff << \clef bass \leftHandUpper \\ \leftHandLower >> >> } -- Knute Snortum
