In some cases you may find that putting dynamics and text in a Dynamics
context will not do everything you want. In these cases, using a tweak to
the Y-offset of the text or dynamics will help.
\version "2.24.2"
rightHandUpper = \relative {
r4 e' f f8 a
}
rightHandLower = \relative {
2
}
leftHandUpper = \relative {
e2
}
leftHandLower = \relative {
e,1
}
dynamics = {
s4 s2.-\tweak Y-offset -5 -\markup \italic rit.
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff << \rightHandUpper \\ \rightHandLower >>
\new Dynamics \dynamics
\new Staff << \clef bass \leftHandUpper \\ \leftHandLower >>
>>

No such thing as s93. Maybe s1*93 was meant instead?

I thi[nk] this is
the text I should insert:
\new Dynamics{
s93-"rit." |
}
But this code will start the rit when the s93 starts.
To start the rit when the s93 has finished, insert an empty chord
{ s93 <>-"rit." }
The rit. needs to go in the piano staves on measure 94, but I don't know
where to place the code.
Insert it in the PianoStaff code after Staff1 and before Staff2.
This gets it placed vertically between Staff1 and Staff2.
For readabilty, give it its own code line.
Cheers,
Robin

Thank you. I've been using Lilypond for only a couple weeks. I this this is
the text I should insert:
\new Dynamics{

The rit. needs to go in the piano staves on measure 94, but I don't know

You can do it by creating a Dynamics context. It's discussed here (scroll

Hope this helps,

Cent rit between staves
How do I center the *rit.* vertically between the treble and bass clef
staves in this piano system?
