This worked if I use this: rit = { \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = \markup { \upright "ritardando" } }
and b1\startTextSpan e,\stopTextSpan
One question more. The ritardando starts in the forth bar of one system and goes on 2 bars in the next system. Now it says ”ritardando” in both systems. Very confusing and unnecessary. How do I get rid of the second ritardando?
All best!

just to give you some alternatives at hand:
1. The override can be defined earlier if you want the music part of your file
to look cleaner/shorter.
2. If you do not need/want the spanner lines, a simple text ^"..." does the trick.
3. This text (as well as the spanner text) can be formatted, e.g. with italics.
\version "2.18.2"
rit = { \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = \markup { \upright
"rit." } }
\relative {
% use the definition above
\rit
b1\startTextSpan c
e,\stopTextSpan
% simple annotation without spanner
c'^"rit."
% same in italics
c^\markup \italic "rit."
}
HTH,
Joram
PS: Wouldn’t it be nice to have these commands (or similar):
b1\startText "rit." c e,\stopText
