You seem to have things under control with this code. I think \centerOnNoteColumn should be the default, I've been scouring the "Golden Age" of engraving that LilyPond aspires to for examples and I noticed that the failure to center isolated figures on whole-notes only becomes an eyesore when the figures are in a small font size, at larger font sizes the figure fills out the width of the note more. This can be seen, e.g., in Augener's edition of the Corelli chamber sonatas. I've attached an example from Denkmäler deutscher Tonkunst, Erste Folge; Bd.18 Leipzig: Breitkopf und Härtel, 1904. Plate D.D.T. XVIII. which shows them centering the figure under a whole note in the first bar shown and then aligning the first of two figures with the right edge of the whole note in the second bar. At this font size it is quite subtle though. Richard
