I lost the original thread, but there was a posting recently about
someone dreaming about an iPad music/score app using Lilypond. But
the way Apple thinks about publishing and licensing 3rd party
software does not match very well with GNU open source ideas.
If you mean a complete and usable LilyPond on the iPad, that's
probably not really viable, see this report on porting TeX to the iPad
(and LilyPond AFAIK works similar to TeX):
http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2010/talks/2010-09-14-arthur-keynote/Keynote-iPad.pdf
(Abstract: It's possible to run TeX, but typing is a pain, and due to
Apple's restrictions file handling is very ugly, and you must close
the app after every compile run.)
The other idea was AFAIR a MIDI player with note display - a
completely different animal.
