One way is to generate some bitmap format, like png or tiff.
Such conversion of Lilypond snippets to bitmap format is 
actually done as a by-product if you run lilypond-book, 
but I guess we should also provide a separate script that
does only this conversion. 
If you run on a Windows system, I think you can open the 
Postscript score in gsview and export (parts of) the document
to different graphical formats.

This is a problem with all TeX generated postscript files.
Once, I made a large poster using LaTeX and wanted to 
import the Postscript file into Adobe Illustrator since 
that's the tool used at the print shop. It failed completely,
even though Adobe invented Postscript and presumably should
know how to interpret the language.
