Perfect! In addition to answering my original question, that even lets me use "real" small caps, which is certainly my preference. Many thanks -- that is super helpful. Jay -Original Message- From: lilypond-user On Behalf Of Xavier Scheuer Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 202

with the options mentioned there. Regards, Patrick Hi Patrick, I believe if you use a font that has small caps it should work just fine. IIRC it's only an issue if the font itself doesn't have a smallcaps. Good luck with the workaround! ___ lilypond-user

\caps and \smallCaps should work with any font since they simply iterate through the string and reduce the font size by a scaling factor -2 for all characters except those already in upper-case. Does this mean that lilypond doesn't use the true small caps that many fonts include
