Hi there,

Hi Hosam,
 

I know Lilypond does have all what most musicians from my region (Egypt)
would dream of, especially customised key signatures.  Still, I dream of the
day I can write music from Right to Left.

Sounds  intersting !

You see, there used to be a time when all Christian hymns in Arabic were
written (=off-set) in the most natural direction for reading music under the
music staff.  Currently, this is not the case, unfortunately.

Could you send us a short example (2 to 5 measures - music & lyrics) ?
 

I don't know if, one day, the Lilypond core would permit this with a simple
/Option.  So, my question is this: Is it at all possible to programmatically
control the direction of the written music?

I'm sure it's possible.

Cheers,

Pierre
