The MAc OS X Application has its own editor, and evidently expects  
one to open the file from within the program, and then compile it. So  
it is not very convenient if one is working in another editor,  
especially if the same file is open at the same time in both that  
editor and the LilyPond editor.

I haven't checked how to use LilyPond and XCode together yet, what  
works well. I just strikes me as a good idea.
