New issue 1388 by lemzwerg: Support OpenType font features
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1388

Currently, LilyPond doesn't support OpenType font features. For example, many fonts already contain glyphs for small caps letters, but lilypond can't access such glyphs directly since OpenType fonts don't need to have named glyphs, and you need to activate an OpenType feature (`smcp' in this particular case) so that input character codes get properly mapped to caps glyphs.

I suggest that we implement an interface similar to the `fontspec' package for XeTeX and luatex:
