I'm not sure what you mean by "write for". If you mean "working on the
implementation", it's not always necessary to build the program
yourself, since large parts are implemented in the Scheme programming
language, which is interpreted as LilyPond runs. However, if you need
to change any C++-code,
you will of course need to build the program yourself.
If you mean, "work on the user documentation", there are ways to just build
the documentation part without building the whole program, if you want
to see directly what the resulting layout is.
It seems that you don't mean "writing scores using LilyPond", since you
mention that you already use the program a lot.

Quoting John Mangual <address@hidden>:
When you write for Lilypond, can you use the pre-compiled version or must
you build it youself? And if you see a bug, how can you trace it? I use
lilypond a lot for my homework assignments, but I wanted to see how the
compiler works.
