Comment #4 on issue 2455 by address@hidden: Lyrics should be
compressed when there's not enough horizontal space
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2455
This issue seems more complex (I mean, compared to the other ones from
your "lyrics issues package").
Maybe it would be better to enhance first the font API (i.e. implement
a "fontspec-like" interface, as expressed by Werner in issue 1388 )
and then add the "microtype-like" features, i.e. compression/expansion
of the text.
But I'm not a font specialist at all. I do not know how the code of
these LaTeX packages could be "re-used" for LilyPond.
IIRC LilyPond in its early age was delegating stuff to LaTeX processing,
so instead of "reinventing the wheel" one could take advantage of the
work done in LaTeX.
