I don't think so. Considering you need a pitch name, a duration, and an
octave indication (depending), this syntax is entirely natural and it is
no surprise it may occur in many programs. It's a natural idea,
spontaneously arising many times.
Well, Humdrum predates Lilypond, so your hypothesis is possible, by
quite some time. Let's hear from the original authors!

I seem to have read somewhere that the notation such as c’4.. has been inspired
by another well-known syntax, maybe refering to Humdrum.
Does anyone know more about this?
