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!
