I don't know how to identify what has MIDI but the following could help you populate the field over time.
Use 3 values in your custom field equivalent to (MIDI Not Known, MIDI Used and MIDI Not Used). I say equivalent as you may want to use single characters to represent these states (depends on how you want it displayed)
Go to Songs, long press a song to display a checkbox and use the floating menu to select all songs.
Select Edit and set every song state to "MIDI Not Known".
When working on a song that is "MIDI Not Known", change it to one of the other states.
This allows you to gradually populate the custom field to reflect the MIDI state.
Alternatively, you could just use two states (Used and Not Used); if it is not one of these then, by default, it represents the "MIDI Not Known" state. This has the advantage that it is still valid should you fail to add the MIDI state when importing new songs.
As "dwg" said, you need to use "Settings – Library Settings – Song Title Formatting" to display this field on the library screens.
