I changed Paul's solution with "hideNotes" to use rests instead of notes, to 
avoid the warning for clashing note columns. Aaron's solution works well for 
the score, but my problem came up when I tried to write the individual parts. 
The updated example below illustrates the problem and my solution to it. Thanks 
both of you!

\version "2.18.2"

rit = \markup {\italic "rit." }
atempo = \markup {\italic "a tempo" }

tempos = {
s2^\atempo
s2^\rit
\once \textLengthOn
s2^\atempo
s2^\rit
}

othertempos = {
\hideNotes{r8^\atempo r r r}
s2^\rit
\hideNotes{r8^\atempo r r r}
s2^\rit
}

notes = \relative c'{
c2. d8 b
c2. g8 b
}

othernotes = \relative c'{
e8 f g a g2 c2 b
}

%solution with textLengthOn

\score {
  <<
  \new Staff <<\tempos \notes >>
  \new Staff {\othernotes}
  >>
}

\score {
\new Staff <<\tempos \notes>>
}

\score {
\new Staff <<\tempos \othernotes>>
}

%solution with hidden rests
\score {
  <<
  \new Staff <<\othertempos \notes >>
  \new Staff {\othernotes}
  >>
}

\score {
\new Staff <<\othertempos \notes>>
}

\score {
\new Staff <<\othertempos \othernotes>>
}
