you could try my little lilypad app:

a vastly improved version should be out within the month with
completion, syntax coloring, and hopefully some other nice features.
i am also planning on releasing it under the gpl.

A couple of days ago I posted a modified lilypond-mode.el which

advantage of xpdf's -remote option which does what you're asking

It only works if you use emacs, though...
Thanks for the suggestion. Right now I can get a pdf viewer
pointing to
the
final pdf, and it refreshes automatically. The problem on the Mac
is that
when I do command-R it compiles then pops Preview to the front. If I
could
make it just do the compiling, without launching Preview (or
shifting
focus
to it) then that would be sufficient. I took a look at
lilycall.py in
/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources but the changes I made
there
didn't seem to have an effect. I don't really know python, so I'm
not
sure if
that's a limitation of mine or whether lilycall.py is used at
all. So, is
there a way to customize the behavior of Lilypond to just do the
compiling
without launching a pdf viewer? I don't have any problem with
altering
scripts, if that's necessary, but I'll need some pointers on
which ones.

Why don't you just put at the top of your file:
\set Score.skipTypesetting = ##t
There seems some confusion. It's not that I want to stop the
typesetting, I
just don't want the Mac Lilypond.app application to launch
Preview.app (and
in particular shift the focus away from Lilypond) after typesetting
has been
completed. So, I (1) do some editing in a .ly file, (2) hit command-
R to
typeset and create a pdf file, (3) do more editing. After I do step
(2) and
perhaps simultaneous to doing step (3) the pdf is displayed in my
pdf viewer
so I can see what it all looks like. Important here is that between
(2) and
(3) I don't have to manually switch back to Lilypond from the pdf
viewer (ie
Preview). Yes, I could do this all easily enough in emacs, but I'm
trying to
set this up for someone who would find that route far to
complicated. The Mac
Lilypond.app is great for someone who doesn't want a complicated
set-up, but
the pushing Preview to the front all the time is actually an
annoyance.
Thanks for the suggestions. I do appreciate others trying to help
out. Is
this something that would be better asked on the devel list?
