I have a guitar score and the MIDI output should sound one octave

That _is_ a transposing instrument. Just use the normal input
conventions for them (the transposing command can use octave
indicators).
How do I handle this in Lilypond ? ( And I don't want a treble clef
with an "8" below or an 8va basso sign in my score either)
The 8 below is _standard_ for guitars as far as I am concerned, but
using the instructions for transposing instruments should work fine.
I have now changed my little guitar score
from
\relative c' { \myguitarmusicnotes }
to
\relative c { \clef "treble_8" \myguitarmusicnotes }
which does exactly what I want. No \transpose needed this way.
But I still don't understand how to do this without the little 8 printed
below the treble clef, but still giving midi output one octave down
without having to shift the notes on the staff one octave down.
