Yes. You essentially create two scores (use \score twice). In one you do
whatever needs to be done for printing (and possibly omit \midi{}) and in the
other you omit \layout{} but add all stuff for midi like adding click
tracks/voices, unfolding repeats, apply articulation etc
BTW: The same technique is used to create special practice files for voices
(e.g. with the practice voice being somewhat emphasised etc for those not
wanting to manipulate the midi files)
