Seems like someone on Stack Exchange asked this same exact question as your initial post
...
Are you just trying to create this MOBI copy for yourself? Or are you planning on distributing this anywhere?
I fear that this sort of book may just be one of those subsets that are not well-suited for EPUB/MOBI, and would be better suited as PDF/physical books. Although maybe I am wrong. Maybe there are some fantastic music EPUBs out there.

I will look into that, seems to be the same as monospaced font, right? Should be working, the following posts seem to be more promising, though

I'm pretty sure wider letters would need a different font.
You can even add extra spacing between words with "word-spacing:5px"

That's cool, thanks!

That looks
very promising! What's the benefit of the <ruby>Text<rt>chord</rt></ruby> syntax over <sup> / <sub> syntax?
My sources are scanned pages of a songbook, ocr'ed astonishingly good with tesseract-ocr. It doesn't preserve the alignment, though, as it interprets every line on it's own. Just for me, because I want a digital copy to not have to carry the originals around, plus lighting and searching a song becomes so much easier...
What this means:
-I have to rework every song, regardless if I put it in Word or Sigil or if I generate pdf or epub/mobi.
-Reflowable would be nice, but all Songs will be formatted to fit in one page in a readable font size, as it's done in the source.
Thanks a lot already, this has been very enlightening. Looking forward for the next answers
