Apparently, you haven't used kate yet... Kate also has full syntax coloring,
auto-completion (even of self-defined commands and all other identifiers
already used in the same file)! It even supports folding of {... } and << ..
Does it automatically put the identifiers from the included files into
the list?
Does it provide autocompletion for tweaks? Like \override Voice.***
where *** is automatically selectable from the list, and after selection
does it automatically expand to the default value of the property?
Does it underline the error if you accidentally type g.4 instead of g4.
for example?
Does it jumps to the right place into the editor from the PDF even after
changing the file (ie. maintaining old positions)?
Does it work on Windows, Mac, and Linux?
LilyKde is a great tool, I think it has some good ideas which were only
present in jEdit/LilyPondTool, but it is quite young and - what is the
most important for me - doesn't work on Windows, and lacks the automatic
syntax check, which is LilyPondTool killer's feature.

sections spanning multiple line. Plus, there is a command-line panel
already built-in to call lilypond directly from there (I'm using a makefile
to make building large scores with multiple files easier).
Plus, Kate supports syntax highlighting/checking/folding, etc. for practically
any other language (e.g. Scheme and C++, so I can also edit lilypond source
in the same session).
Here is a screenshot, in case you are curious how it looks like:
