The score is as is, but if anyone have tips on how to make it look
better, please advise me.
Can’t do so without PDF :-)
Sorry, it's here:

Some remarks:
– In choral music by convention the dynamics, sometimes also articulations, phrasing slurs &c. are placed above the staff, at least if a lyrics line follows below. This often allows to save vertical space and more importantly it brings the lyrics closer to the associated staff. So: \dynamicUp – A similarly standard convention: don’t beam notes outside melismata. That means: \autoBeamOff, manual beams with melismata. This convention has only been put aside in the 20th century for music with great rhythmic complexity, where beaming is necessary for legibility. – Why not use \RemoveEmptyStaves, at best along with fitting line breaks e.g. Agnus Dei, before m.32 and 45? – You might be interested in <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2015-05/msg00079.html>: placing the ambitus after clef and key signature (see also issue 4396). It leaves less of an unsightly gap and it makes more sense.

HTH, Simon
