I see you have your shift problem fixed.  The problem causing your error 
messages is that the {} braces for your midi block aren't matched - you're 
missing a closing brace.

You can move things around the page with the \translate command.  This:

\markup{
 \translate #'(12 . 0)


will shift your text - too far to the right in fact - but you get the idea.
