Hi James,

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

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.
