Re: whole rests are not centered in the measure

You can certainly make that happen with some clever coding/tweaking…

However, it's not standard engraving practice: just like notes,  
performers wanT (need) to see the rest *precisely at the ("vertical")  
moment when the rest event begins*. Otherwise, it becomes difficult  
to play (esp. sight-read). Full-measure rests are the only exception,  
as far as I know.

HTH!
