Yes, a better solution is to teach Lilypond about the Small Caps
font style. It's easy, add some lines to the definition of
paper20-style-sheet-alist in scm/font.scm, using the lines with
cmti as a template, replacing cmti with cmcsc and italic with
caps. Then you set the font-shape property to caps.
