Re: Hebrew Lyrics

[Aaron]

I am now beta testing Xandros so I have no noteedit installed. Can 
someone roll me a deb of the latest and greatest? I will be happy to 
fiddle and see what I can come up with.



I will gladly test it and see what comes. If we can enter hebrew in 
noteedit export to lilypond and add the needed hacks, then we could 
probably include the hack in the export at a  later stage.
Then anyone wanting to produce hebrew lilypond would need to have their 
system setup for hebrew first. (which sorta makes sense that someone 
wanting hebrew would already have a working hebrew setup or be willing 
to add  it)

I actually still have to add font changing issues and proof read the 
page and I will put it on my server and announce its existance. It would 
be nice to include noteedit in this page and or tars of hebrew lilypond.

I am setup on my end to use UFT-8 indeed.  The reason I added a png is 
so that you can see the hebrew. If you fiddle with your browsers 
settings you should be able to see the hebrew also.

As above I will glady install it and see
