I don't understand what you want.
Why do you want editorial accidentals that does not get printed - what good do
they do when they are invisible?

The midi file will always contain the real pitch - that is the pitch defined
in your ly. So if you do "cis" then the midi file will contain a cis/des
nomatter how your accidentals are displayed.

I am sorry but I do not understand you.

(Do you want to be able to typeset the same score with and without editorial
accidentals?)
