Re: hebrew lyrics lilypond!!

[Mats Bengtsson]

It would actually help if you provided more complete examples of
what you tried to do. If the example you show below is what you
typed in the lyrics section, I fully understand why nothing works.

First of all, you have to realize that the syllables are separated by 
blanks.
If you want to include a space or any special character such as curly
braces in a syllable you have to add double quotes around the full
syllable. Thus, you probably want

mylyricsline = \lyrics{ "\\R{\\hebalef}" ... }

which should result in a \hbox{\R{\hebalef}} command in the generated
TeX file.
