Hi Robert,

You asked to centre the chord, but  then if you add barline offset it's not
centred, so I am a bit confused what you mean. although the picture makes
it clear.

I just wanted to say that there are often times when you really do want to
centre a chord or a rest in a single, especially in Baroque music. To this
end, when I asked about this in the past, David Nalesnik and Thomas Morley
produced this excellent code. Note that it only works for one thing in a
bar, but it's great.

Hope this may help.

One of those things that ought to go in LSR I suppose.
