put both things like a tempo or rit. above, although I think it is done

 I'm used to seeing them below the staff, with tempo markings such as
 Tempo I or a tempo above the staff.  The European classical piano music
 I have seen with such markings places the rit. and accel. between the
 two staves, and the organ music I've seen places it between the two
 manual staves, not near the pedal line.

Kurt Stone's book says on pg. 32 that:

	2. MODIFICATIONS (RIT., ACCEL., ETC>)
	Single staves (parts): preferably above.
	Double staves (piano, etc.): preferably centered between the 
staves; if too crowded above.
	Three staves (organ); centered between the upper two staves 
or, if too crowded above the
	top staff.
	Choral scores (open): above each staff.
