Welcome to Lilypond. :-)

I also hate the mouse, and I compose music with vim and lilypond. Which
means I can work on my music remotely via SSH over a low-bandwidth link.
No need for bandwidth (and memory) hogging VNC's. And yes, version
control.  I use git, which allows me to experiment with different
branches (different ways of scoring a passage) quickly and easily, and
without risk of losing previous versions should I decide to revert.

Not to mention the beautiful scores Lilypond produces.

You're in good company here. ;-)
