PDF sheet music/MIDI question

On the book I'm working on, I was thinking of adding in some sheet music, which I've done up as an image -- I'm assuming that there's no way to actually put in sheet music in any sort of "text" kind of way, that no standard has been developed for doing that up in epub format?

I assume that's a "no", and hence my doing it up as an image, but I thought I'd also include a PDF version of the music as well, so if the person's reader can view those then they could get it at an even higher resolution (and perhaps even print it, if they're able -- like, if they were using ADE on their PC, then I would imagine it would open up Acrobat Reader?).

Or is support for PDF files -- via one's ebook reader -- so marginally supported that I should simply not bother?

Also, I have a MIDI file of the actual music itself, which I thought I might include -- I presume it would just go in the /Misc/ folder (along with the aforementioned PDF) and then I just link to it? And I guess for both cases I should add a note saying "If your device supports the playing of MIDI files, click here..." (or something to that effect).

I'm just wondering, I guess, if either/both of these thoughts are more of a waste of time to include or not.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
