An alternative that perhaps is even simpler, is to use the \tag  and 
\keepWithTag features, see
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Different-editions-from-one-source#Using-tags

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-02/msg00314.html
for an example where it's used to make different versions in midi and 
printed output.
