Hi,

as far as indentation and syntax highlighting is concerned, Frescobaldi
does a very good job.

If you are talking about code structure, so where to use variables and
whether to state things explicitly or not, I think this depends on the
size of your project. In the examples in the docs you will often find
the following ordering, which is a good decision for a wide range of
project sizes:
% version, header, paper, …
% variables for music and lyrics
% score structure

Cheers,
Joram
