Re: center text in the middle of the page

With Joe's new spacing mechanism, you can center a score:

\version "2.13.9"

\paper {
  scoreTitleMarkup = ##f
  tagline = ##f
  ragged-last-bottom = ##f
  top-system-spacing = #'((space . 4) (padding . 4) (stretchability . 1))
  between-system-spacing = #'((space . 4) (padding . 4) (stretchability . 0))
  bottom-system-spacing = #'((space . 4) (padding . 4) (stretchability . 1))
}

\score {
  \relative c' { c d e f }
}

Maybe there's a way to do the same with a markup?

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
