It'd then just be a matter of figuring out how to tell whatever tool/format that you're using to put the pieces so close together that no gap shows.

I don't think that's possible--because I'll have no control over how it's being viewed. Ebook readers don't offer a lot of CSS options (not that I know anything about CSS, but I might be able to learn something simple & repeatable), and if I put it in eReader format, I know there's no "close gaps between images" option. I don't know if it's do-able in LRF or not.
(Probably shouldn't do eReader pdb with images this large anyway. Should consider removing the images for pdb and just having text.)
If I have to separate the treble & bass clefs, I probably lose the line that connects them, and the ability to line up the text to match the musical notation. There are too many ways ebook readers can parse the contents to be sure of lining anything up.
If I want to be sure of the layout, I'd need to use PDF. And while I might do that, it won't be a full conversion because I'm skipping the page headers & original page numbers.
I think I like the idea of a single image for each block of music & lyrics, followed by text lyrics underneath that. I can probably figure out how to add alt text, although it seems weird to add alt text that matches lyric fragments.
My next concern is pretty text boxes--boxes of scrollwork or knotwork designs around text. I suppose those just get dropped in the ebook formats; I can't think of any simple way to include them.
