Thank you Aaron for the explanation. I was trying the make-music solution as
I was also trying to make a generic function, something like:

c4-\mySpan "molto rit." d e f g1\stopTextSpan

Unfortunately, your solution doesn't allow that:
mySpan = -\tweak bound-details.left.text \etc \startTextSpan

I'm curretly re-writing my shortcuts and configuration files in lilypond. I
try to rationalize it and avoid the massive recourse of independent
shortcuts (for instance, rit=... , moltoRit=... etc.). Maybe that has
already been discussed somewhere else but I wasn't able to find the
solution?
