I wasn't sure if this would constitute a meaningful data point, but I do
use Lilypond extensively and only ever use vim (without syntax
highlighting). For the most part, navigation is no problem for me as I
use a very specific formatting, with comment markers indicating
different sections of a piece, so even in a full orchestral score it's
still usable to keep all the parts in a single file. (Layout specific
details like \layout and \paper blocks, macro definitions, and other
necessary boilerplate, are kept in different files, though, to minimize
distraction from the actual music.)
