Hi all - 

I'm looking at improving my centering of MM rest numbers between staves. I have 
come across solutions like this: 
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2012-10/msg00293.html but the 
problem seems to be that it will always find the center of the Dynamics context 
which, if notes whatever are between the staves, un-centers the MM rest 
numbers. 

This is my current thought process. 

- Create an engraver that lives on the piano staff that records the position of 
my up and down staves and record Y pos in a context property.
- Set the MM rest number to transparent so that it is not recorded as taking up 
space
- Set the MM rest 'after-line-breaking' to read the context property of the 
parents and set the numbers centered between the bars. 

Does this sound feasible? Is there an easier way? I remember seeing something 
about looking at the gridlines for height, but not 100% sure it would work for 
my purposes:

Thanks!
