Hi James,

Don’t forget to post MWEs, so people who want to help don’t have to conjure 
code themselves.  :)

> Some magic incantation I'm missing...

Not sure why your incantation doesn’t work, but this seems to:

%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.25.11"

global = {
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = \markup { \upright "rit." }
  s1\startTextSpan
  s1\stopTextSpan
}
zhengR = { c'1 1 }
zhengL = { c1 c }

 \new PianoStaff \with {
   instrumentName = "古筝"
   shortInstrumentName = "古筝"
 } <<
   \new Staff = "up" << \global \zhengR >>
   \new Staff = "down" \with { \omit TextSpanner } << \clef bass \global 
\zhengL >>
 >>
%%%  SNIPPET ENDS

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
