Why not just use #(set-global-staff-size 30) at the top of the document
(and remove #(layout-set-staff-size 30) from the \layout block)? That will
automatically size everything much better, in my experience:

%<-------- SNIP ---------

#(set-global-staff-size 30)

global = {
  \override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'neomensural
  \override Voice.NoteHead #'style = #'neomensural
  \override Voice.Rest #'style = #'neomensural
  \cadenzaOn % turn off bar lines
}

voiceOneNotes =   \relative c' {
  \clef "petrucci-g"
  d1 r1 d1
}

\score {
  \new StaffGroup = choirStaff
  <<
    \new Voice = "voiceOneNotes" <<
      \global
      \voiceOneNotes
    >>
  >>
  \layout {}
}

%< -------- END SNIP --------

HTH,
Abraham
