Actually, I understand what Aaron is saying for movement titles.
A measure expression can be set to align with the left barline of
bar 1, handle centre aligned, but with an additional horizontal
offset of exactly half the printed page width (3.5 inches for an
8X11 sheet with .75 inch margins). This would exactly centre it on
the page above the first system of that movement for all parts, no
matter what the layout, and it would move with the first system,
whatever you did with it. If you indent your first system, just
deduct that amount from the additional offset.
Very cool, Aaron!
It only goes some of the way, though: It doesn't handle several
lines (you can only left allign them, not center), and if you have
different indents for the first system (ie depending on the staff
names for instance, and different in score and parts) it simply
doesn't work any more without a lot of fiddling and readjustment.
I see your point, but I could just go back to the way I did it
before; turn on rulers and drag or nudge until the line shows up at
the right place.
Now all this could be solved by allowing centre justification in text
expressions, just as we already have in Text Tool blocks.
