That's easy, using two \score blocks, one for the printout and one for the 
midi, like this:

musicOne = { ... }
musicTwo = { ... }

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \musicOne
  >>
  \layout { }
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \musicOne
    \new Staff \musicTwo
  >>
  \midi { }
}


A \score { } block with a \midi {} but without a \layout {} will not print.

best regards,
