I do something similar, though I am usually not writing in lilypond but
rather in ABC or human-readable chord charts with accompanying lyrics.
However, my band-mates are not git-literate, so I usually end up pulling
their versions directly from email into the working tree, and then
committing to git myself.

For added UGFWIINI, I also keep multitrack recording projects in the
same repo. Live single tracks are kept as pristine "source", and then
are mixed down (with filters and effects added) into a final product.
It's even driven by make. ;)

However, the source files are annoyingly large to work with in git, so I
keep them outside of the repo as immutable source and refer to them by
unique name. Only the ways in which they are filtered or combined are in
the repo.
