Wow, that sounds like quite an effort you made.  Maybe you can share
some of your experiences for other new users?  Things you could not
find in the documentation, perhaps?

It works for me (TM).  You should investigate which step fails, set

    export XEDITOR='echo emacsclient --no-wait +%l:%c %f'

run xdvi and shift-click.  Over here, it echoes

    emacsclient --no-wait +5:8 /var/fred/cvs/savannah/lilypond/lilypond/pc.ly

Then, just cut and paste  or type that command, and see what happens.
