Hi Aaron,

Just plain text.

and, using the example Ferenc got to work:

\score {
  \addlyrics
    \notes {
      \clef "bass"
      \key d \major
      \time 3/4
      d4. a8 g4
    }
    \context Lyrics \lyrics {
      \include "mahyedid.out.29"   %this line counts
    }
\paper {
  papersize = "a4"
  indent = 0.0\cm
  }
}

If your lyrics file is called mahyedid.lyr.29, then you write in the lilypond 
file: \include "mahyedid.out.29". This is the file the script creates, with 
the desired reversion.

Then you run 
revertlyrics.pl mahyedid
or
revertlyrics.pl mahyedid.ly
then
ly2dvi -P mahyedid.ly
and you should be set.

Schalom,
