This was not against Frescobaldi, I like it.
My question was real, it is a seperate editor. Seperate from the web point of 
view means that your own computer does the computation.
Especially Lilypond runs on your own computer.

The web editor is different because it runs remote lilypond and you only 
interact with the frontend. This is meant by "not seperate".
In fact it would be more accurate to say that you don't want to run a seperate 
lilypond and a seperate pdf viewer. The text-area is the center of view and so 
it cannot be seperate per definitionem.
