Snap to Halfway Across a Grid Division?

I often want to divide an object in two, or take a line from halfway across an object. But the grid works on intervals of 5 divisions, so I can't snap to half way across a grid cell.

I am a newcomer to Inkscape, and to this forum. I am trying to create equations in Inkscape using a Baskerville italic font and I am having some problems with subscripts, superscripts and letter spacing. Equation 5 shows the problem with superscripts. the exponents of the first k squared and t cubed...
