I had this problem when setting up point and click in Windows. It was 
caused by some missing environment variable.
How did you install lilypond? From Arch repository? Or from 
lilypond.org installer (the .sh file)?
My guess is that you are using the Arch package, because the installer 
sets all the needed variables for lilypond-invoke-editor. You can check 
it with this command:

$ cat `which lilypond-invoke-editor`
#!/bin/sh
export 
PYTHONPATH="/home/fede/.local/lilypond/usr/lib/lilypond/current/python:/home/fede/.local/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/python:$PYTHONPATH"
export 
GUILE_LOAD_PATH="/home/fede/.local/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current"
export 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/fede/.local/lilypond/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
me=`basename $0`
exec "/home/fede/.local/lilypond/usr/bin/guile" 
"/home/fede/.local/lilypond/usr/bin/$me" "$@"

That's the installer file.
If you see a scheme file, you are using the Arch package.



Please paste the output of these two commands (if you don't have 
/etc/hostname, replace it with another text file you can read):

echo $LYEDITOR
xdg-open textedit:///etc/hostname:1:1:2

Same problem here with the swap file. It's the problem we already 
discussed: vim is being opened in a new instance/process/window each 
time you click on the PDF..
I hoped that clientserver could help, but I cannot make it work. In 
Fedora 29 only gvim has clientserver enabled:

[~]$ gvim --version | grep clientserver
+clientserver      +job               +perl/dyn          +user_commands
[~]$ vim --version | grep clientserver
-clientserver      +job               +perl/dyn          +user_commands
