Adding Ritardando
Having ritardando would allow us to have a lot more creativity tempo wise. We could also have accelerando and a tempo so that our entire piece doesn't remain slow.

See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/tempo for setting a tempo for the score.
See https://musescore.org/en/project/tempochanges for rit. accel. and so forth.

Yes, but a permanent solution that doesn’t require a workaround would be nice sometime in the future

How is the progress on this? Do we still need to change tempo manually?

If you mean using a ritardando then, yes. The plugin was adapted to version 3 and automate the process of entering multiple tempos.

@Anders Lindén....
The manual ritardando and accelerando playback simulation described here:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/tempo#ritardando-accelerando
is not necessary.
In fact, the tempo changes plugin found here:
https://musescore.org/en/project/tempochanges
has been enhanced with the capability to increase (or decrease) the rate of accel. and rit.
It is no longer strictly linear.
Have a listen:

See? The plugin can make the music play faster, and faster, and faster (or slower, and slower, and slower).

Can you explain what is new in 3.6? Is there any easier way to add rit. - - - than adding text and then adding line and configuring its properties?

You can add a system text line and set the start text to rit. then set the dashes and hooks the way you want rather than using system text and hoping you don't reformat the page and need to edit the text. Otherwise, use the change tempos plug in to make the tempo changes easier.

Thanks. I was not aware that Text line has Begin text, Continue text and End text properties.
Thus, I was always adding text and lines separately. Now, I can work in the correct way.

can you please explain in more detail? how to add a system text line, etc. Im a noob

To add a system text line, select the range of notes you want it to appear on, open the Lines palette, then click the "System" line icon. If you don't see the word "system", be sure you are in the Advanced rather than Basic workspace (see control at top right of main toolbar). To change the text on the line, select it then use the Begin & End fields in the Inspector (re-open it via the View menu if you previously closed it).
But unless you specifically need the line (it isn't particularly needed in most cases), it's much simpler to just use the Tempo Changes plugin, which you can download and install by going Download / Plugins in the menu above (top left of this page).
I solved the problem! Add "rit." or "a tempo" or anything Musescore doesn't have but you need as a lyric.

Better use a system text than a lyric.
The fact that a simple addition of rit... and cresc... text has not been implemented in this program as of 2022 is embarrassing.

cresc... has been in the software for over 2 years whereas their equivalent hairpins have been there since forever..
Good thing then that "rit" is implemented in the current development version.
The fact that you haven't contributed a solution before today is almost just as embarrassing; being aware that this is an open source and largely volunteering based project.

But to be clear - it’s been possible add the text forever. And it’s been possible to run the plugin to get the playback effect for quite a few years as well.

I can understand such a logic and it would be correct if MuseScore is a payed software. However, no one payed anything for MuseScore. Thus, every MuseScore feature is a gift.
These days, when I start to think about things that I would love to see in MuseScore and how I'm disappointed because they are not yet implemented ... I remind myself that the only right thing is to say thanks for many gifts that I received.

True! Thank MuseScore for remaining free. MuseScore grants me ineffable happiness writing music.
But if I were on the MuseScore team I would definitely add a ritard-accel feature, knowing how loved it would be and knowing how many folks feel it is overdue...as a gift.
