In the theory, I think that an X11 backend could be implemented. It wouldn't need to be as accurate as the printing backend, since most of the time you just want to see roughly and quickly the ouput. And some kind of diff could be used so that the whole score does not need to be redisplayed each time you change a single note. I guess there's lot of room for operational research applications here. But like many others, I'm too busy with other things to tackle all these interesting problems.
