Re: change font name of just lyrics?

[Klaus Blum]

Hi Josh, 

you could try it like this:

% --
\version 2.18.2

\relative c' { c4 d e f }
\addlyrics { This is my text }

\layout {
  \context {
\Lyrics
\override LyricText.font-name = #Arial Narrow
  }
}
% --

Cheers, 
Klaus

 y'all could expedite my question:

 I'd like to be able to change the default lyric font to a different font
 within the same font family. I have an expert font that has many different
 weights and a condensed form, and I'm not quite sure how to tweak just the
 lyrics.


Here's the hack:

#(define ((force-font font-name) grob)
   (grob-interpret-markup
 grob
 (markup
  #:override (cons 'font-name font-name)
   (ly:grob-property grob 'text

\new Staff {
  c'4 d'4 e'2
} \addlyrics {
  \override LyricText.stencil = #(force-font Ubuntu)
  Li -- ly -- Pond
}
