According to google analytics on lilypond.org - 25% uses IE of which
65% uses IE7.
  

Why that means 8.75% of the people could potentially think png sucks.  For my web site I use png on the theory that if people are still using ie6 they should upgrade.  For a commercial website I might very well make a different choice, but probably not.  It's getting to be a really small percentage, and ie6 has so many other rendering problems I'm not willing to hack up web sites for.

According to the top Google hit I came across for "png alpha ie," IE7 does
support PNG alpha (http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/alpha.html).
      

IE6 is still widely used though (30 to 60% of the users depending on
the stats I've found).

That said, IIRC at worse IE6 flattens PNG images on an ugly grey
background, so I think LilyPond snippets would still be readable
(however ugly).
