tracking/letterspacing markup

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hello all,

Is there an easy markup tracking/letterspacing function floating around out 
there? The last time I needed to adjust letterspacing (for a style demo), I 
simply wrote e.g.

  \markup \override #'(word-space . 0) \line { l e t t e r s p a c i n g }
  \markup \override #'(word-space . 0.2) \line { l e t t e r s p a c i n g }
  \markup \override #'(word-space . 2) \line { l e t t e r s p a c i n g }

If somebody out there has built, or could help me build, a real letterspacing 
function — or, I suppose better yet, add letterspacing as a parameter to the 
underlying markup code — I’d appreciate it.

Thanks,
Kieren.
