I have been using Lilypond + Frescobaldi for all my compositions for the last 8 years or so, including jazz, chamber music, and a symphony. The symphony is currently at 120 pages, and will probably end up around 170 pages.
I certainly don't rely on continuous engraving — for one thing, if I'm doing an edit that breaks bar checks, I want to finish editing every staff before I engrave. For the symphony, engraving takes so long even on a fast computer that I usually only engrave the bookpart for the movement I'm currently working on. I don't use MIDI playback hardly at all. If you want to do a proper MIDI mockup in a DAW, Lilypond does give you nice and clean MIDI output, though. A lot of my compositional process takes place in pencil on printed out incomplete drafts. I use Git for version control and remote backup of my projects.
