How do I get small caps for lyrics? Here's how I've attempted to
select small caps: "\override LyricText #'font-shape = #'caps". I've
tried a few different fonts without success: "Helvetica", "Georgia",
"Verdana".
Have I just not found a font which supports small caps? Perhaps a more
basic question is which fonts support it and how can I check? Here's a
full example:
Works ok with a true small caps font. I have Trajan Pro (came with Adobe
InDesign), and when I set that as the lyric font I get small caps:
\version "2.14.2"
\score
{
<<
\new Staff \new Voice=z \relative c' {c4 c c c}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto z \lyricmode
{
\override LyricText #'font-name = "Trajan Pro"
This is a test.
}
