I use a similar convention to this, Anthony, calling notes files 
"instrumentNotes.ly", while the score for same is called "instrument.ly" 
and is stored in a different directory.  I note that Nicolas Sceaux uses 
.ily extensively.

Does anybody object if I add the .ily extension to the filetype.vim code 
in AU 2.2.2 "Vim mode"?  And besides that, to the actual filetype.vim 
file in the sources? I always have to add *.ily manually to my 
filetype.vim file to get proper highlighting.
