Well,
compiling a few measures of a single staff feels nearly instantaneous, 
and when you're editing an orchestral score this makes a huge difference.

Generally I'd think it would be a good idea to have such an interface in 
Frescobaldi. UI-wise it wouldn't be too hard to add that. However, there 
is one thing I've thought about several times and that doesn't make the 
issue so easy:
If you have a short segment of a score, say in a variable, how can you 
guarantee that LilyPond has the right context for that (I'm not talking 
of \context, but of things like key, time signature, transposition etc.)?
