I use Crimson, which imitates Minion in a lot of ways, so I'm not sure if
it's what you're looking for.
It's a little light, so I made it heavier and condensed it, then called the
weight "Crimson Lyrics." I don't know anything about font licensing, but it
looks like I would just need to change the name before I could legally make
it available to you if you were interested.
Here's an old blog post <http://samuelspeer.com/blog/2014/crimson-lyrics/>
with a picture of the modifications, although I have tweaked it more since
then. (I think I initially overdid it.)
Hey, from the blog post this looks like a nice font for lyrics. (I think
Joshua didn't want to say that he doesn't _like_ the looks of Minion but
I think he's looking for a free alternative).
Regarding the license: Crimson is licensed under the SIL Open Font
License, so basically yes, you have to rename it, put an appropriate
FONTLOG file beside and redistribute it under the same license.
I'd be happy to give it a try and test the font. (IISC you didn't make
the file(s) available?
