Sometimes, on a commercial job, we HAVE to start from PDF. When we've stopped swearing, we double (or more) the price then... :-)
I think the best thing YOU could do with a PDF of one of your musical books is convert each page (or at least those containing music examples, and/or text containing musical symbols) to a picture format. Then make each page of your EPUB a full-page graphic. Ebook readers aren't all the same shape and size. On some of them you won't fill the full screen, and you won't want your pages to be distorted by stretching to fit. But it's probably the best compromise.
So you can probably ditch the PDF stage. If the whole book was prepared in Sibelius, export graphics directly from there.
Svg looks attractive. But,. remember, you don't WANT your pages to stretch-to-fit every possible screen size. And I'm not yet fully convinced you won't hit problems sending svg-based pages to the Kindle Store.
