Yes.
Wordperfect was one of the best wysiwyg editors Ive used.
One could use it in normal (1-screen) mode
Or one could split the screen and see the formattings in the lower window
along withe the formatted in the upper.

Which is to say I believe weve not the heard the last of finding the 
best mix between WYSIWYG and coded-text+compile

This the same as what you are saying because if one
writes the editor to wrap lilypond and show in another window
the next step is to allow editing in either windows and have the app
keep them in sync
