If you’ve installed LilyPond through your distribution’s packages,
then the relevant files should have already been put in
/usr/share/vim/, e.g.

~:  find /usr/share/vim/ -name lilypond*
/usr/share/vim/vim81/compiler/lilypond.vim
/usr/share/vim/vim81/ftdetect/lilypond.vim
/usr/share/vim/vim81/ftplugin/lilypond.vim
/usr/share/vim/vim81/indent/lilypond.vim
/usr/share/vim/vim81/syntax/lilypond-words
/usr/share/vim/vim81/syntax/lilypond-words.vim
/usr/share/vim/vim81/syntax/lilypond.vim

I remember using LilyPond’s vim mode quite a bit a dozen years ago;
syntax highlighting did work but I was not an advanced Vim user enough
to take advantage of all the other niceties. Please let us know if
you’re happy with it!
