Comment #27 on issue 2445 by address@hidden: Center a number above a  
measure
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2445

I'm not in a position to try this right now, but this quote from David  
Kastrup in the thread you cite above provides the clue to the solution for  
this problem:

"Well, scheme-text-spanner changes the \Global context [as does  
Measure_counter_engraver], and quote
environments uses the layout definition partCombineListener in
ly/declarations-init.ly with an unchanged Global context.

Change its Global context similarly, and you should be set."

I'll see if I can work up some code to add to the .ly file.  This is just a  
stopgap measure for the .ly file, though.  When (and if!) this engraver  
ever makes it into the code base, this extra tampering that David K.  
alludes to won't be necessary.
