Re: centering rests

If you mean that you want the (e.g.) half-note rest to be mid-way  
through the first half of the measure, rather than left-aligned at  
the first beat, then... you don't/shouldn't.

In standard music engraving practice, the full-measure rest is the  
*only* one that is centered in its [horizontal] duration-space — all  
other rests are placed at the position where they first happen in the  
flow of time, just like their sounding-note equivalent(s).

Hope this helps!
