Shane,

If you are using Frescobaldi, you could not use \caps and access the special

Small caps are a subset of a font, it is pretty rare to have small caps worked 
out beyond the standard 26. This because they did not exist in Unicode as a 
defined glyph. Unicode is still only has 24 small caps defined. Your best bet 
is to try the Bold smaller size trick and see if that works.
