Well, that freeware music notatin program that was mentioned here, MuseScore, can save files as SVG, and with regard to saving -- and sharing -- files you make in that program the only thing I could find in the help files that seemed to relate in any way to possible copyright issues was this:
"Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) can be opened by most web browsers
(except Internet Explorer before version 9) and most vector graphics
software. However, most SVG software don't support embedded fonts, so
the appropriate MuseScore fonts must be installed to view these files
correctly."
That seems to imply that they don't mind if you embed their fonts (which is easy enough to do with epub).
Nevertheless, even if it did all work out just fine going in that direction, there's still the compatibility issue with some devices (especially older ones), and so I'm still thinking that the best/safest bet is to just go with PNG instead -- and from my experiments you can't even really see any difference in them all that much (and even if you can, if you really were to zoom in, that difference is negligible and the PNGs are certainly more than good enough to do the job).
