This is not what I advised in my mail.
I wrote:
"You can put the command exactly there where it is now:
 inside the Lyrics context, before the lyrics actually starts."

This means that, apart from the other commands you put there and which I
don't understand (but that's my problem - if any - and not yours :)
it should have looked like (assuming that your additional commands where
right):

\context Lyrics {
    \property Lyrics.LyricText \override #'font-name = #"he8aharoni"
    \apply #(text-augment "\\R{" "}") 
    \lyrics  { hebrew lyrics in here. }
}

Anything else I don't know wether it will work or not.


good luck,
arie - agrees: computer programming can seem very difficult :)
