You want the score to occupy the whole page width, as big as possible. I wasn't sure how mobi resized the images, hence my comment in https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=171470#4147314

The kindle doesn't use epub format. They are two competing markets with
different software.
The images I have seen on epubs are bitmaps, so hardly "zoomable". I
mean, if the image has more pixels than my ebook device, the image
results hard to read or view.
