I found Frescobaldi to be a decent compromise in that regard as it serves as a decent Lilypond editor while keeping the rendering of the score up to date at the same time.
Personally, I'm going to experiment a little more with tighter Emacs and perhaps Org mode integration. I don't care for the full score at all times, so using Lilypond as a server and sending it only short snippets to be displayed in an Org mode babel buffer might be a viable option.
(I know that you can tell Lilypond to skip time and only start rendering after some offset, but I'd rather not have to keep adjusting that offset number all the time; it also doesn't work so well for pieces with different odd meters.)
