http://lilycomp.sourceforge.net/

might suit your needs. It is a python script so its probably able to run 
under windows too (with the python package installed). Hmm.. yes the site 
says it runs on winxp. 

Also I believe emacs with lilypond-mode and lyqi have the ability to use 
a midi keyboard as well as easy keyboard input to lilypond. Might be 
worth looking further into that.
