??? An R2 is certainly centered within the measure if you have 2/4 time:
<<
\new Staff \relative c'{ \time 2/4 c8 d e f }
\new Staff {R2 }
>>
However, as was pointed out by Kieren, a half note rest in the beginning
of a 4/4 measure should be left aligned with the first note of the
measure, not centered in the first half of the measure, according to
common typesetting practice.
