At the end of the link above you can find the solution: you have to 
write two \score
blocks:

The first one is the one for the pdf:

\score {
 ..your music goes here..
 \layout { .. }
}

while the second does *NOT* contain a \layout-block but only a \midi-block and 
therefore
is only responsible for the midi output:

\score {
 \unfoldRepeats ../your music goes here/..
 \midi {}
}

Then one lilypond run should do the job.

Note thet \unfoldRepeats must not be coded within your music variables, but 
only in the \score-block.
