Assign the music to a variable, and reuse it multiple times:

	myMusic = {
		... % music notes here
	}

	% Printed score
	\score {
		\new Staff {
			\myMusic
		}
		\layout {}
	}

	% MIDI
	\score {
		<<
			\new Staff {
				\myMusic
			}
			\new Staff {
				R1	% whatever time offset you want here
				\myMusic
			}
			\new Staff {
				R1*2	% deeper time offset
				\myMusic
			}
		>>
		\midi {}
	}
