Thanks Patrick.  Do you accept AlertPay or Moneybooker payments?

With the new fix, can I just wrap a stanza in U+202A .. U+202C to get
the desired effect?  At some point, when RTL is implemented for the
musical notes, I may want to let the Hebrew do the natural thing, and
put in some U+202B..U+202C to make the English text stay in sync with
it.

I think this issue is fixed now.  As Valentin noted, please wait until
2.13.10 is released to verify that everything works for you.

Looking at your Shema4.ly file again, you should be able to get this
working with 2.13.9 or earlier.  Try wrapping some of the
multi-character Hebrew syllables with U+202D and U+202C; for example,

 <U+202D>????<U+202C>

should be rendered left-to-right.  You'll see erroneous warnings (that
will be fixed in 2.13.10), but the file should compile fine.

Thanks,
Patrick
