Thank you, Trevor. This technique both centers the text item and takes it
into account for spacing purposes. I'm not sure how to make it work for the
partial measure I put at the end of my example, though. Also, it centers
the text in the "usable" measure space -- after a time signature change, for
example. This is certainly a good thing! However, I'd like to be able to
center the text on the measure regardless of what's in it (or, by extension,
center it between items of my choosing). I'm hoping that there's a way to
do this without relying on 'extra-offset, so that other grobs will move up
to avoid collisions. Is this possible?
