For this music, where there are bar lines, r1 does not center the whole
measure rest. I've come up with the following workaround:

\version "2.19.43" 

 {
        \clef mensural-g
        \set Staff.clefPosition = #-4
        \set Staff.middleCPosition = #-8
        \set Staff.middleCClefPosition = #-8
        \override Flag.style = #'mensural
        \override NoteHead.style = #'petrucci
        \override Rest.style = #'neomensural
        \override MultiMeasureRest.style = #'neomensural
        \key g \major    \time 6/4
        r1*6/4
        \hide R1*6/4 -\tweak #'extra-offset #'(0 . -2.1)^\markup {\musicglyph 
#"rests.0neomensural"} 
        c''2. \once\override Dots.dot-count = #0 
        r2. c''2
 }
 
I wonder if there is something neater? Can I tell LilyPond to use
rests.0neomensural instead of the glyph it does use (rests.0 ?)
