Not sure I understand correctly. It is possible to center expressions 
between barlines and to make their allignment point center. However, it 
is not possible to create multi-line expressions where the lines are 
centered in relation. Is this what you want to do?

Right, I want to center-justify multiline text expressions. (As opposed 
center-aligning them in some external context, which is easy to see how 
to do.)

This is not supported, apparently, in measure expressions the way that 
it is with text blocks created with the Text Tool. I don't know why 
not, as this seems to be the last feature that is different between the 
two tools. You can fake it with spaces at the beginning of the lines, 
though.

Or you could use a measure attached text block, depending on the 
context. It's one of the instances where I do use measure attached text 
blocks, which otherwise haven't got that much use any more.

Well, there's the old fashioned way:  create the multi-line 
expression, and insert spaces or hard-spaces as needed to adjust each 
line by hand.

I know of no way other than eyeballing it.
