I'm sorry you're having troubles with LilyPond.  If you tell me what you don't get I (or someone) can help with that.

As a starting point, here's the LilyPond source code you posted, corrected so it will compile, and with the MIDI honoring the repeats:

%------

\version "2.22.2"


\header {
  title = “%%%%"
  composer = "Omer Katzir"
  tagline = "http://omerkatzir.net"
}



upper = \relative c' {
  \time 3/4
  \key g\major
  \voiceOne
  \tempo 4 = 90


b b b b


}

lower = \relative c {
  \key g \major
  \voiceTwo

  \repeat volta 2 { b b b b b    }


  \alternative {
    { a a a a  }
    { a a a a  \mark \markup { \italic "Fine"   } \bar "||"
  }




  }

c d e f g a b c \mark \markup { \italic "D.C. al Fine" }


}

\score {
  <<
    \new StaffGroup = "tab with traditional" <<
      \new Staff = "guitar traditional" <<
        \clef "treble_8"
        \context Voice = "upper" \upper
        \context Voice = "lower" \lower
      >>
      \new TabStaff = "guitar tab" <<
        \context TabVoice = "upper" \upper
        \context TabVoice = "lower" \lower
      >>
    >>
  >>
 
  %%% Below, tells LilyPond to only create PDF
  \layout {}

}

%%% Below, create a MIDI-only score with repeats unfolded
\score {
  \unfoldRepeats {
    \new Staff <<
      \new Voice \upper
      \new Voice \lower
    >>
  }
  \midi {}
}

Well, I’ll be ashamed but honest. I didn’t understand anything from it. Maybe lilypond is just not for me for more complicated pieces.

I have this music, but when I try to make midi out of it, it doesn’t do the repeats. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do it?
I’m really struggling with lilypond lately :-(
