Assign the music to a variable, and reuse it multiple times:
myMusic = {
... % music notes here
}
% Printed score
\score {
\new Staff {
\myMusic
}
\layout {}
}
% MIDI
\score {
<<
\new Staff {
\myMusic
}
\new Staff {
R1 % whatever time offset you want here
\myMusic
}
\new Staff {
R1*2 % deeper time offset
\myMusic
}
>>
\midi {}
}
