Thank you both for you help.

Yes I did install Lilypond directly through arch repository via pacman. cat
`which lilypond-invoke-editor` returns 
#!/usr/bin/guile1.8 -s
!#
;;;; lilypond-invoke-editor.scm -- Invoke an editor in file:line:column mode

Should I uninstall it and make the install differently in order to be able
to call a vim file after clicking on a textedit link?

$ echo $LYEDITOR

$ xdg-open textedit:///etc/hostname:1:1:2
It is working, writing my hostname in vim. 

For a test purpose I tried uninstalling the script
lilypond-invoke-editor.desktop from the manual and then I get the message:
/usr/bin/xdg-open: line 881: x-www-browser : command not found

So my conclusion is that archlinux users would have to follow the Gnome 3
instructions from the documentation.

Actually I did install vim with the gvim package in order to have a better
implementation of copy/paste buffers. Here is what I get:

$gvim --version | grep clientserver
+clientserver      +job               +perl/dyn          +user_commands
$ vim --version | grep clientserver
+clientserver      +job               +perl/dyn          +user_commands

I'll look into this mode that I don't know in order to see if this can solve
the other part of the problem.

I haven't install any DM either. I followed your advice and put "export
EDITOR" and "export LYEDITOR" on my .bashrc instead of bash_profile.
