If you mean a complete and usable LilyPond on the iPad, that's  
probably not really viable, see this report on porting TeX to the iPad  
(and LilyPond AFAIK works similar to TeX):
http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2010/talks/2010-09-14-arthur-keynote/Keynote-iPad.pdf
(Abstract: It's possible to run TeX, but typing is a pain, and due to  
Apple's restrictions file handling is very ugly, and you must close  
the app after every compile run.)

The other idea was AFAIR a MIDI player with note display - a  
completely different animal.
