Just from a quick glance:
– The slur in m. 23/24 is definitely not publication quality. You could 
try \shape or better, \shapeII (of openlilylib; it has bugs, though).
– m.20 and 22, l.H., second half of the measure should be beamed upward 
– don’t know why it isn’t. I’ll write to the bug list.
– in m.130 and 132, r.H., I’d experiment with something like 
\once\offset length -1 Stem to avoid the stem ending ‘in’ the tie
– the ppp in the last bars look odd so far to the left
– And I’d try \paper { page-count = 4 }, it should work fine.

Yours, Simon
