Stan,
As it stands, LilyPond doesn't (yet) associate condensed, extended,
medium, semi-bold, black, etc. variants with the normal italic, bold,
and bold-italic variants in the font family. Thus, the condensed
variants are used with the name "Vollkorn Condensed". If you want to
use the medium or semi-bold variants, you'll need to reference them
with their full names.
Regards,
Abraham
