For the sake of completeness: full-measure-extra-space is a useful property
which you can override for situations when a single note fills a measure.
Note the seemingly early placement: it has to be before the paper column
(think barline) before the note you want to give a lead-off.  Any centering
would be trial-and-error, so there's a need for something automatic.  (The
numbers needed for your snippet are a bit ridiculous.)   It also works with
\offset, in case you don't want to look up the default of 1.0.

\version "2.19.15"

testing = {
  c''4 c'' c''
  \override Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.full-measure-extra-space = 18
  %\offset full-measure-extra-space 17 Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn
  c'' |
  c''1 \bar "|."
}

\layout { ragged-right = ##f }
\score { \testing }
