Thanks! But I think lyrics and dynamics are also able to center themselves 
nicely. So there must be way to get the center.

Breakable object have a break-align-anchor-alignment option that exactly 
specifies which side to use for aligning other things, but it seems not to 
work with common notes.

I will try looking in the LilyPond source code to see how lyrics and dynamics 
do it...
