I could not see any way to do it with the application. You might change its 
lilypond binary, and replace it with a script, but then you will have to redo 
that for every update.

It is possible to combine: use whatever editor you like, and run it from 
Terminal. I just use the Xcode editor. There are other setups which understand 
LilyPond code better.
