This is exactly what Schikkers-List v0.0.3 does, as an obvious and
simple extention to the Ikebana prototype.

I'm now working on a new data structure which detaches rendering action
from the internal music structure.  That should enable using different
threads in the GUI for managing GUI updates and talking to the lilypond
server.  Which in turn will enable using parallel lilypond processes to
do bits of rendering.
