I am using Vim and Fedora 19 and syntax highlighting is working. The 
change from vim73 to vim74 is something that should be reported to the 
lilypond packagers from Fedora. It's a little problem that keeps popping 
up from time to time when vim is updated. Copying/moving the files from 
the old vim73 to the new vim74 directory is the right thing to do. Not 
only the syntax directory. If you type "rpm -ql lilypond | grep vim" you 
will see the vim files that are packaged with Lilypond on Fedora.

In my personal ~/.vimrc file I have:

" LilyPond
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.ly                                  setf lilypond
set autoindent
set smartindent
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set expandtab
filetype plugin indent on


Unless you want to use the developers version 2.17.x, I would use the 
files from the official Fedora RPM version of LilyPond and make them work 
using the aove method. No need to get files from Git, or put stuff in 
/local/... directories manually.
