Yes, though I'd say Ian has a point, too. I use the midi initially to
'proofread', but finally I generate the complete piece with repeats
unfold. Should I make some corrections, I'd like to hear it without
repeats, and so on.

This snippet allows a command line option unfold-repeats to control
this behaviour:

  maybeUnfoldRepeats =
  #(define-music-function (parser location music) (ly:music?)
    (if (ly:get-option 'unfold-repeats)
         #{ \unfoldRepeats $music #}
         #{ $music #}))

  \score {
    \maybeUnfoldRepeats \allMusic
    \midi { }
  }

Using "lilypond -d unfold-repeats ..." will now generate midi with
unfolded repeats.

Now, if we could only get rid of the warning "no such internal
option: unfold-repeats"...
