This is really minor, but I was noticing that the positioning of the

centering the entire phrase?
Hi Alex,
IIUC that's pretty much what Kieren wanted to in the first place, except
that you add stuff to the left /and/ the right. So, if instead of
#1 Fairy Tale Ending [""]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
center this
you want
#1 Fairy Tale Ending
^^^^
center this
simply use the same approach, but with the "#1 Fairy " part to the left,
\halign #RIGHT-ed, and " Ending" \halign #LEFT-ed on the right. If you
choose an X-extent for with-dimensions larger than #empty-interval, you
can fake a higher total line length, but AFAICS, that's about it.
I cannot see an automated version around the corner which figures out
the proper word to put in the center. Might be doable by looping over
all words, computing their extents, and taking the "most centered one",
but maybe you need to have several short word for the middle part,
depending on the length of the lines above and below, and so on. YMMV.
Best,
Alexander
