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.
