What if there are 2 markup's on the same note, one centered aligned and the
other not? If you could \override the setting inside the markup it wouldn't
affect the non centered markup. Is there really no solution for this? Should
we ask a feature that \hcenter should be centered with the notehead's center
and not it's edge?
