Hi, LilyPondTool is not, but LilyPond IS developed in that direction. 
However, there is much work to do, and you are certainly welcome to 
contribute better MIDI output if you can.
Currently LilyPond doesn't support the performance articulation marks 
(like staccato), not to mention "humanization".
Even simple things are on the todo list like arbitrary MIDI messages 
attached to notes.
