[James' reply:] 
Joseph, being someone who makes small edits to the documentation regularly and 
also learning the hard way, if you are making changes to  @lilypond examples it 
is best to use Lilypond-book in a 'test.tely' file first (then you can use 
texi2pdf to make a dummy PDF) this takes a few seconds and then when you are 
happy with your example you can cut/paste it into the real document and then 
make that final build.

There is no way currently around just rebuilding your small bit in that single 
document that I am aware of.

I'm happy to help off-list (if I can) if you need more explanation on this.
