Again, the issue is that using textLengthOn works well with score, but
in the individual parts either the short notes get stretched weirdly

those, or sometimes even if I do).
Ah, I see what the problem is now. A customized version of
\textLengthOn seems to work:
%%%%
\version "2.18.2"
rit = \markup {\italic "rit." }
atempo = \markup {\italic "a tempo" }
tempos = {
% Modified logic from \textLengthOn...
% * extra-spacing-width gets a larger right-side value
% so that \atempo and \rit sit a little further apart.
% * extra-spacing-height is tweaked to minimize impact
% on the eighth notes spacing while still encouraging
% TextScripts to sit side-by-side.
\override TextScript.extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 1.5)
\override TextScript.extra-spacing-height = #'(1 . 1)
% Helps vertically align TextScript baselines, as the
% default allows \rit to sit too close to the staff
% since it does not contain any descenders.
\override TextScript.staff-padding = #1
s2^\atempo
s2^\rit
s2^\atempo
s2^\rit
}
notes = \relative c'{
c2. d8 b
c2. g8 b
}
othernotes = \relative c'{
e8 f g a g2 c2 b
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff << \tempos \notes >>
\new Staff {\othernotes}
>>
}
\score {
\new Staff << \tempos \notes >>
}
\score {
\new Staff << \tempos \othernotes >>
}
