using "take lanes" with midi tracks?

Am I missing something? 

I don't think so William... A take lane is based on a track, and any view of that track, be it PRV, event list, or whatever, see what is on the whole track.
 
At least that's the way I see it.

...hide muted clips...

That's the trick. Since comping works by muting clips, this will effectively show only the active parts of a MIDI comp in the PRV, but Hide Muted Clips isn't available in the Staff View.
 
That said, MIDI doesn't lend itself to being comped in a lot of cases because you can't make a cut in the middle of a note and have the two halves from different takes crossfade together as you can with audio. If you have Non-destructive MIDI Editing enabled, notes get truncated at split points, and if you don't, it's difficult to get the desired transition from one take to another with performances that have a lot of overlapping notes. Throw controllers into the mix (e.g. a piano part with sustains), and things can get really problematic. This is not a fault of comping workflow; this is the nature of editing discrete MIDI events.
