Please note that Francisco did not say that you have to repeat any of 
the actual music in your LilyPond file. It should be easy to obtain the 
things that have been discussed in this thread using only two separate 
\score blocks for the printed version and the MIDI version, if you make 
use of variables in a suitable way.

Regarding your problems with polyphony, you should figure out what kind 
of MIDI construct that TuxGuitar will turn into the kind of polyphony 
that you are looking for. There are many different ways to generate MIDI 
files. Some related information on how LilyPond generates MIDI files and 
how this can be customized, is provided in
