Hi Stefan,

Indeed it looks like it's not accepting the note markup, although I don't 
get parsing errors. But why not code it like this?

 {
   \override Staff.TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = #"rit."
   \time 4/4
   \clef bass 
     c4 \startTextSpan c e f\stopTextSpan
   \tempo 4 = 60
     g1
 }

Best regards,

Jethro.
