Are there any “good practices for sheet music writing†guidelines that are more or less universally accepted?

I'm an amateur musician who sometimes likes to write sheet music for arrangements and for pieces that I figure out by ear. I do this mainly because I can go long periods without playing and when I feel like doing it again, I like to have a custom reference to quickly relearn a song, however I feel like sometimes my sheets are written in a really messy way (not pleasant to the eye or confusing) so I was wondering if anyone knows of a style guide for sheet music writing that has some kind of worldwide reputation. I've found a couple ones online but I would like to know if I should be paying more attention for an specific one.

The go-to reference for notation is Elaine Gould's Behind Bars: The Definitive Guide to Music Notation. It's a massive book that includes examples of advanced post-tonal notation in addition to the standard tonal notation rules.
Other resources are listed in References for typesetting music, but the Gould is certainly the industry standard.
