There are several programs that support MIDI input (including USB/MIDI)
that also export to Lilypond. Some of them still a little experimental
and/or buggy. Examples: Rosegarden, Muse Score (mscore), NtEd, Canorus,
NoteEdit. Also Lilypond source editors like Jedit/LilypondTool and
Frescobaldi support inputting notes via MIDI. Frescobaldi uses a tool
called "Rumor" for that.
Using just Rumor you can play your MIDI keyboard, and you will see the
notes you play on screen in Lilypond syntax.
Lilypond is just a program that creates a printable, viewable, or
playable(=MIDI) score from a text-based inputfile. Nothing more and
nothing less. Direct MIDI/USB support is not relevant. That's what
the third party tools that I mentioned are for.
