I use MIDI output mainly for proofreading, but at occasions where I need 
better MIDI output I always create separate scores for layout{} and 
midi{}. In the midi-only version I copy/paste all music in the correct 
order instead of using any repeat instructions. Also suitable for complex 
Da Capo / Segno / Coda types of repeats. If I arrange my music in blocks 
using variables and use my favorite texteditor it really isn't that much 
extra work and it is a usable workaround for Lilypond's restrictions.

Sometimes even \unfoldRepeats doesn't do the trick.
