If the only purpose for using tags is to generate different octaves in the midi and the display, it would be much easier to just change the octavation of the clef.

 

{

 

   \override Staff.ClefModifier.transparent = ##t

   \clef "treble_8" c1

 

}

 

This displays c as c’ in the score, and plays it as c in the midi.

 

It’s probably better to set the stencil to ##f:

 

{

 

   \override Staff.ClefModifier.stencil = ##f

   \clef "treble_8" c1

 

}
