Perhaps there will be a javascript library in EPUB along the lines of how MathJAX could be used for math. I am not too sure on sheet music in HTML (never ever looked into typesetting sheet music until today). It seems like there is this standard called MusicXML:
http://www.musicxml.com/
http://www.musicxml-viewer.com/
I am definitely not familiar with including any of that javascript stuff in books, and it wouldn't work on most of the devices out there anyway, so I personally wouldn't waste my time (I would focus on the SVG/PNG side of things so it would be able to work on a maximum amount of devices).

Hmm, seems like you might be able to go from MIDI -> PMX -> MusiXTeX:
