When working on a (new) score, my highest priority is to get all the notes
and rests and articulations and lyrics and so on in their correct places.
In this stage, the above approach could be very useful, since it would be
possible to render the score, or even the actual part that is being worked
on, very fast.

Only when the contents of the score are technically okay, the more tedious
and slower process of typesetting needs to begin.
