\version "2.16.2"
simpleMusic = 
#(define-scheme-function (parser location melody) (ly:music?)
#{
\score { 
$melody 
\layout {}
}
#})
\score { \simpleMusic { c1 } }

Probably more verbose than you care for, but at least you can get midi
and layout blocks in which is more than you can do using a music
function.
