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.

If I only have a PDF I will convert it to word and then to the format I want. As you say, word does a fairly good job but there are also PDF to word converters that do a bit better IMHO. Converting to an editor makes sense since you will need to edit the results.
