This is entirely a matter of preference, but I'd suggest making the
closing brace be at the same indentation level as the line that opens
the block, like so:
\paper {
#(set-paper-size "concert")
}
It makes it much easier to spot when you forget a closing brace. Your
text editor should be able to do this for you automatically, which will
also ensure that your indentation is consistent - sometimes in your file
you use two spaces, sometimes four, and sometimes a tab character. It
would stop you doing things like this:

The indentation's so confusing in that block I could only find the end
of rightHand's definition by using Vim's 'jump to matching bracket'
command.

Much as "one bar per line" is a useful rule, you might find it more
concise to abbreviate the first six bars to
R1*6
%7
r8 c16 ... |
Note that R rests (unlike r rests) have an implied bar check on either
end, so you don't need | before or after.
That's all I could spot in a brief skim; I can't spend more time on it
as I'm on the way out to work.
