Re: Hebrew Lyrics

Automation at run time no, but your letter made me think of a binary 
that would include the hacks . I see no problem for me to take a 
lilypond rpm and in a post install script have it configure it for 
hebrew. Then in the noteedit's configure script could have a switch for 
hebrew which would require that rpm/dep/tar....

Sorta stupid I know, what I was really waiting for was a discussion of 
encodings etc to popup and some sane way of dealing with 
internationalizations to be addressed.

If there would be a hebrew lilypond then the actual entry would use just

language = "hebrew,english"

then when the file is exported to lilypond dump the hebrew hack into its place.

Again this way of acheiving hebrew was done ages ago and a lot has changed in 
the lilypond code.

Please if anyone has an easier way to do this please let me know.

Needless to say to get to the point of hebrew entry in Lilypond was no 
easy matter.
