Greetings All,

Is there a way to centre a rest in a bar - an ordinary rest, not a multi 
measure rest?

The following vastly oversimplified snippet shows rests sitting at the left, as 
indeed they should, entirely correct. But my composer wants them in the middle. 
How does one achieve this, without simply specifying a move offset, as this has 
to be continually adjusted as the score is being developed and bars change 
width and so on.

Having asked this, the same applies for notes. How can I get a chord to sit in 
the middle of a bar? 18c composers very often did this.

Is there a way to address this topic in Scheme? I am sure I could write the 
Scheme, I just need to find a foothold somewhere to start.

\version "2.19.19"

\paper {
  ragged-right = ##f
}

treble = \relative c'' {
  \clef treble
  \time 4/4
  r4 r r r
}

bass = \relative c {
  \clef bass
  \time 1/4
  c c c c
}

\score {

  <<
    \new Staff \treble
    \new Staff \bass
  >>

  \layout { }
}


Andrew
