I certainly could. That just precludes the possibility of "almost  
live" previewing on 10.3--in LilyPad, you don't actually have to save  
or explicitly execute any command to have your preview be up to date.

A question about using textedit:// URLs: is it not conceivable that  
you might want to have different handlers for textedit:// links in  
different kinds of files? E.g., LilyPond or LilyPad for PDFs  
generated by LilyPond, and TeXShop for TeX-originating PDFs?

In which case, might it not be better to define a LilyPond-specific  
URL scheme, say, lilypond:// ?
