I've looked for a hack, but I haven't found one yet. I was wondering if 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

}
