Re: Nobody really knows how to center a note within a measure ?

[Mats Bengtsson]

Since this isn't common notation practice, there's no builtin support
for it. The question is what kind of score you want to use it in.
If it's just a single staff in the score, then a whole note will be
printed fairly close to center of the measure (or rather, the next
bar line will be printed fairly close to the note). However, if there
are several staves in the score and some other part play several notes
during the duration of the whole note, then the whole note will be
aligned with the first note of the measure in all the other parts.
Of course, you could do something like
\score{
<<
  \new Staff { c4 d e f }
  \new Staff { s2 c1*1/2 }
>>
}
to fool LilyPond into printing the whole note aligned with the 3rd beat,
for example.
