This is really great! Do you happen know what the current limitations
are? Or
rather, having the full feature list is great, but if only a few
features are
actually recognized by the underlying typography engine (it's still
Pango,
right?), that would probably be a better list to show, unless they're
all
recognized, of course.

In general, Pango is agnostic of the features themselves, AFAIK.  It
simply forwards the selected stuff to the font in question.  However,
the user has first to look up what the font he or she wants to use
actually supports, but this is not lilypond's job.  What could be added,
though, is a link to such a font inspection tool that reports the font's
OpenType capabilities (i.e., supported scripts, languages, features).
