Indenting text block on title page

[Guy Stalnaker]

I so hate emailing the list for something that must surely have come up 
before, but after several hours of Googling and reading through 
documentation and snippets, etc. I have not discovered how to do easily 
what I want to do.

What I want is a title page with title, composer, lyrics, and copyright.

I have those with known syntax:

<code>
    \markup {
      \column {
        \vspace #10
        \fill-line { \line { \fontsize #7 \bold \sans \smallCaps 
{Title} } }
        \vspace #3

        \fill-line { \line { \fontsize #6 \italic {Compose} } }
        \vspace #3

        \fontsize #3 {
                  \line {  Text}
                  \line {  Text}
                  \line {  Text}
                  \line {  Text}

                  \vspace #2

                  \line {  Text}
                  \line {  Text}
        }
        \vspace #20

        \fill-line { \line { \fontsize #4 © 2014 } }
      }
    }
    \pageBreak
  }
</code>

That absolutely gives me the four sections I want, with one caveat -- 
the text block is left-aligned along the left margin. All I want to do 
is move it about 20 horizontal spaces; I want to indent it, in other words.

I have found no method to do this on either the block as a whole or on 
each individual line.

\halign #-2.5 on the whole block inside {} will shift the first \line 
"Peace is my last gift to you." exactly as expected, yet each subsequent 
\line is at a different "indent." Using \halign #-2.5 on each individual 
\line produces the exact same output.

\hspace #x with any value for x on block {} or \line produces no result 
whatever.

What I've had to do is create a three-column layout, put /null in the 
two outside columns, to leave the text in the center column, which does 
work.

But, really? All that to simply shift \line {} over 15-20 spaces from 
the left margin? It is almost surely the case that my lack of 
understanding of context, etc. has left me unable to comprehend the 
documentation or figure this out with an elegant solution.

Is there an elegant solution to shift a block {} or \line of text a 
specified horizontal distance from the left margin?

Regards.
