Hello,
these statements won't change the tempo in midi output. If you want to
modify the tempo in a midi file, you have to use
\tempo 4=80 for eight quarters per minute.
to have both nice text in the score and tempo in the midi file you can
place two tempo statements:
...
\tempo 4=120
\tempo \markup { Allegro \small \italic "nicht zu schnell" }
...
now the text will show up in the score and the midi output have a tempo
of 120 bpm.
regards,
Jan-Peter.

Hi,

How do I change the meter (Andante, Allegro) in the middle of a song?
\tempo "Andante", \tempo "Allegro"
See the "Notation Reference" manual, section 1.6.3 "Metronome marks".

Also how do I add ritardando?
Notation Reference, 1.8.1 "Text spanners".
\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = "rit."
b1\startTextSpan
e,\stopTextSpan
