Re: Hebrew Lyrics

[Aaron]

As a follow up to what Richard said.

My system is setup to type hebrew that includes Tex and LaTex terminal 
vim etc.

This in something that is easiest to acheive for RPM based systems 
because some kind souls have created rpms for all the needed files and 
configuration stuff.

I am still new to debian but I hope as I learn to make the config stuff 
work on Debian as well.

So that said, once my system reads and write hebrew, Latex and TeX.

I add hebrew lyrics and lilypond will know they are in hebrew and turn 
the hebrew backwards on the sylabbles  correctly which is what happens 
with the scheme hack that a kind soul on the list wrote for me.

I currently just tell lilypond to use elatex which speaks hebrew and not 
to use Latin1 or whatever.

I could put up examples on my test site but I am getting the feeling 
that I should wait a bit because I  gather the way hebrew was acheived 
could be improved on.

This is no way to be implied that I am pushing anyone to mess with 
lilypond just for Hebrew, I think the start of this thread was 
multilanguage support for lilypond. Any method that does away with the 
special hack for every new language would be of benifit to all.

In the meantime the hack I am using continues to work.

Let this go on the feature request list with the hundreds of other requests.

BTW this is what make Lilypond so great, its flexibility and power.
