I'd use _rit. or maybe _#'(italic rit.).
If you have several tempo instructions of this kind and don't use
text scripts for anything else, you can change the default
font instead of specifying italic for every single occassion.

Hi Erwin,

1) How get I a rit. (for ritardando) in my score? Is there a standard
way or do I have to use  rit. on some note?

on a quarter note of C: c4-rit.

2) Is it possible to get Chords in Jaz mode with a different bass
note (like C7/G or G/B)? I coudn't find it in the documentation?

c:7/+g or g/+b

search the docu for bass and inversion, that should yield results. Don't use the
inversion function in jazz mode, i.e c:7/g or g/b, that delivers chord symbols
where the bass note is explicitly negated in the symbol, e.g G5/B. That's not 
desirable.

All the best, Amy

Erwin,

I won't touch the chords question.  I always hover over the manual
whenever I want to do something more than basic chords.

For the ritarando, I would use a \mark instead of a text object.  If you
are using 1.7.x you can use the new \markup syntax to select an italic
font.  It is much easier than the old syntax.

My scores contain, 2 variant copies of the global voice that is
mentioned in the tutorial.  One puts in breaks and marks.  So you put
the ritardando in here.  It is only used in \score blocks that are for
printed output.

The other has no breaks or marks but has \tempo changes where need to
match ritardandi, fermati, etc.  It is used only in \score blocks that
are for midi output.

If you combine the 2 global voices, then you get warnings that lilypond
is junking the tempo requests when doing the processing for printable
output.

By doing the trick that I use, the generated midi's tempo reflects the
markup.

Is anyone else doing fancy tricks with their source to make the midi
output more correctly correspond to the score (or to how a piece would
typically be performed)?

I can't answer your first question, but the second question was a
problem I also had.

To make G/B, you would use g/+b
I believe for C7/G you would use c:7/+g
For Am7/E, you would use a:m7/+e

I hope that helps!

Dave
