Comment #3 on issue 1482 by address@hidden: \caps and \smallCaps don't  
work with \fromproperty
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1482

This problem comes from the font you are using in your markups.  There are  
currently no native small-caps capabilities in the default font for markups  
(Century Schoolbook from the PS font suite), which means that LilyPond  
can't typeset it from \fromproperty.  If you choose a font that has small  
caps, then you should use the command \fontCaps instead of \smallCaps and  
you'll get the result you're after.

Alternatively, you can make a slightly more involved function to get the  
result you're after with the default font:

#(define-markup-command (frompropertysmallcaps layout props symbol  
smallcaps)
  (symbol? boolean?)
  (let ((m (chain-assoc-get symbol props)))
    (if (markup? m)
        (interpret-markup layout props (if smallcaps (markup #:smallCaps m)  
m))
        empty-stencil)))

\paper {
 line-width = 80\mm
 bookTitleMarkup = \markup {
   \column {
     \fill-line {
       \line { \sans "Sans" }
       \line { \caps "Caps" }
       \line { \smallCaps "SmallCaps" }
       \line { \italic "Italic" }
       \line { \bold "Bold" }
     }
     \fill-line {
       \line { \sans \frompropertysmallcaps #'header:title ##f }
       \line { \caps \frompropertysmallcaps #'header:title ##t }
       \line { \fontCaps \frompropertysmallcaps #'header:title ##t }
       \line { \italic \frompropertysmallcaps #'header:title ##f }
       \line { \bold \frompropertysmallcaps #'header:title ##f }
     }
   }
 }
}

\header {
 title = "Title"
 tagline = ##f
}

\markup \null
