Here is what I’ve been able to obtain:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.19.55"
global = {
\time 3/8
}
regularMusic =
\relative c'' {
\global
c4.
}
alternativeMusic =
\relative c'' {
\global
\shiftOn
d8 c4
}
\score {
\new Staff <<
\context Voice = "regular music" {
\regularMusic
}
\context Voice = "alternative music" \with {
fontSize = -3
\remove "Note_performer"
}
{
\alternativeMusic
}
>>
\layout {}
\midi {}
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The output is legible:
and the midi contains only « regularMusic ».
The \shiftOn command was suggested by LilyPond itself.
Problem solved!

How can that be done?
Another idea: create a VisualVoice context which is exactly like Voice but with \remove "Note_performer" &c.
