But if you have to...
I've been trimming out the header/footer areas then doing a PDF > EPUB conversion in Calibre. But if you have a recent version of Word, try giving it the PDF to chew on. It often seems to do a rather better job than Calibre, there will still be some spurious paragraph breaks, but more of the layout and chapter structure is retained. Then convert the resulting DOCX to EPUB as before.
This isn't relevant to our particular problem of converting a book with lots of mixed text/music examples though. Any conversion will look for and try to render text AS text. Some will even try to interpret the music fonts. A big mess.
