It’s not wholly clear what you tried, but I’d assume that <code>\tempo 
"rit."</code> is what you want. The difference from \mark is mainly that 
it lives in score and thus is printed only once above all staves, no 
matter how many parts have the same tempo marking. And probably 
articulate.ly will then interpret it correctly (yet I don’t have any 
experience with that).
