For midi, I generally recommend making a separate score dedicated for
midi, that's apart from the layout score. What I usually do is something
along these lines:

        fluteIPart = { ... }
        fluteIIPart = { ... }
        oboeIPart = { ... }
        oboeIIPart = { ... }
        ...

        % Score for layout only
        \score {
                <<
                        \new ScoreMarks { \global }
                        \new StaffGroup <<
                                \new Staff {
                                        \partcombine \fluteIPart \fluteIIPart
                                }
                                \new Staff {
                                        \partcombine \oboeIPart \oboeIIPart
                                }
                                ... % etc.
                        >>
                        ...
                >>
                \layout {}
        }

        % Score for midi only
        \score {
                <<
                        \new Staff << \global \fluteIPart >>
                        \new Staff << \global \fluteIIPart >>
                        \new Staff << \global \oboeIPart >>
                        \new Staff << \global \oboeIIPart >>
                        ... % etc.
                >>
                \midi {}
        }
