I want the MIDI file to sound like what I would actually play, but I
want the printed file to print the way the original publisher printed
it.

In early and traditional music, it's quite common that there are
accidentals that "everybody" knows to play that aren't shown in the
printed music.  Sometimes when you're doing a modern edition you
insert them as editorial accidentals, displayed differently from the
accidentals that were actually printed, but for my purposes, I would
rather they didn't display at all.  So that's why, when you said you
were providing various styles of displaying editorial accidentals, I
suggested you have one that didn't display at all.

They play correctly in the MIDI file.

That might be one way to do it.
