I'm afraid I don't entirely understand your question...
1)
Did you produce the condensed set?
2)
If so, did you design the glyph shapes individually or through
applying some sort of automatic scaling?
I think that's clearer, isnt it?

Hey, Abraham, cool!
I think it is definitely something to try out for an
alternative LilyPond style.
Did you do that? If yes, how is the relation between automated
scaling and manual decisions?

Urs,
Not sure if this would be of any help to you, but
here's a condensed variant of the full Vollkorn family.
Regards,
Abraham

Hi Joram,
Vollkorn is a good font, and I can imagine it works well
with LilyPond
(due to its inherent weight).
But the main issue I am looking for is the combination
of weights and a
condensed variant.
Having a condensed font is a huge benefit when trying to
fit more music
with lyrics on the page (because with LilyPond's default
font lyrics
generally need more horizontal space than the
corresponding music.
Minion Pro is extremely good because it also provides a
nicely graded
set of weights *onto* the condensed width. With that you
can really
fine-tune the appearance of all the different items like
lyrics,
barnumbers, textscripts etc. to form a consistent
overall appearance
with LilyPond's music. However, I'd still like to have a
free
alternative to that one for better usability.
Recently I got a version of Linux Libertine that has
been "condensed" by
Abraham Lee, unfortunately I didn't have time to really
test it so far.
But this may actually be a good thing because I find
Linux Libertine to
be a very nice complement to LilyPond too.
Best
Urs
