I use M-x customize, search for lilypond and then get the config panel for org-babel-lilypond-commands. Btw I've set up timidity, checked if it works correctly and then change the value from vlc to timidity, but same result. Aaah wait, I'm currently looking at ob-lilypond.el, and it's looking for a file that ends with *.midi, but lilypond on Windows generates *.mid files. Ok I'll see if that's it after dinner.
