I also think our solutions are "different" - the main question for me is why your drawing starts with a "(moveto 0 1)" which makes you unhappy later. vertically centering both objects is your decision - why not start the drawing at 0 0 and align the objects on the same line in the markup, as David suggests, i.e. use LilyPond's default or - if you have good reasons - change the alignment to a suiting value!
