The whole issue is VERY problematic. Today, many fonts already contain glyphs for small caps, however, lilypond isn't able to access them! Reason is that lilypond currently misses an interface to OpenType layout tables. There are five feature tags related to caps defined in the OpenType 1.6 specification: cpsp Capital Spacing c2pc Petite Capitals From Capitals c2sc Small Capitals From Capitals pcap Petite Capitals smcp Small Capitals The `normal' one is `smcp', BTW. If you activate it, small letters in the input are converted to small caps letters. Before having access to OpenType features, I consider any change in the font interface premature. Please read the documentation of the `fontspec' package (for both XeTeX and luatex), which provides a user-friendly LaTeX interface to OpenType fonts. The documentation also shows many OpenType features in action, including caps related ones. http://www.ctan.org/get/macros/xetex/latex/fontspec/fontspec.pdf I suggest that we develop (after release of 2.14) a not-yet-written API similar to the fontspec interface.
