Re: centralising markups above notes

Hi David,

Where does the documentation suggest that \center-align (and similar)

their outside.

See the Text alignment section in http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/formatting-text it clearly makes use of a single item with \center-align.

Regardless of the documentation, would you be able to tell me what's the best approach to centre a markup on a note, please? The solution I found (last bar in my previous minimal example) seems very hacky to me as it's mixing two things (\center-align and parent-alignment-x) for the alignment.

Many thanks,
Gilberto
