What about defining

minuet = \relative f{
c4 d e2
}

firstVolta = \relative f {
g1
}


secondVolta = \relative f {
g2 g
}

trio = \relative f {
e2 d4 c
}

and set a \midi-block with

\minuet \firstVolta
\minuet \secondVolta
\trio
\minuet \secondVolta

while the score will be something like

\repeat volta 2 { \minuet }
\alternative { { \firstVolta } {\secondVolta } }
\trio

Lilypond doesn't support things like minuets, Da Capo, Dal Segno and Coda
stuff - yet.

HTH,
