I like a "little smaller than a4" format for choirbooks. I grabbed the 
dimensions from a Bärenreiter choirbook.

============
\version "2.13.0"
\paper {
    paper-width = 190 \mm
    paper-height = 270 \mm
    left-margin = 15 \mm
    line-width = 153 \mm
    ragged-bottom = ##t
    indent = 10.0\mm
}

\header {
  tagline = ""
}

#(set-global-staff-size 12)
============

I print theese out on a3paper (4page faces/sheet) and staples theese 
in the middle with an electric saddle stapler (something like [1]),
folds them and cuts them down from folded a3 to the above dimensions,
to make booklets.

I have some old examples at [2], especially [3,4]. But I'm moving to
use git instead [5].
