Not sure if this is "best" practice, but you could always separate the 
markup from the notes:

%%%%
\version "2.19.82"

partInotes = { c'1 c'1 }
partIInotes = { e'1 c'1 }
partMarkup = { s1-"rit." s1-"a tempo" }

\score { \new Staff << \partcombine \partInotes \partIInotes \partMarkup 
>> }
\score { \new Staff << \partInotes \partMarkup >> }
\score { \new Staff << \partIInotes \partMarkup >> }
%%%%

There might be some gotchas with the above approach, so perhaps the 
better solution would be to use edition-engraver [1].
