As others have said, the answer is no, however you can arrange to
typeset only the immediate context in which you are working. 
Denemo lets you typeset a range of staffs and measures centered on the
cursor position while you edit. This generally succeeds because each
keystroke enters a complete bit of LilyPond syntax, it might be a
trickier strategy to implement with a text editor.
