Depending on the key signature, for example a keyboard stroke "d"

either "des "d" or "dis".
There is the following layout for diatonic (extended meantone) system,
which is what the Western musical notation system describes:
A# B# Cx Dx Ex
A B C# D# E# Fx Gx Ax Bx
Bb C D E F# G# A# B#
Cb Db Eb F G A B C'# D'#
Dbb Ebb Fb Gb Ab Bb C' D' E'
Transposition is by translation in this diagram. So the same scale,
interval or chord (disregarding inversions) will have the same pattern
but translated. Different scale degrees are on different / diagonals.
I have used it for playing music in Scala and Chuck in various
tunings, like Pythagorean and quarter-comma meantone (which sets the
major second to the interval ratio 5/4). It works just fine.
It might be good for note input, as it does not impose E12 enharmonic
equivalence.
But it may not be a LilyPond proper question - one needs an editor or
key-map that can generate note names in LilyPond code.
