Dumb question, some (perverse?) writing systems are contrary to western music notation, how does one set hebrew or arabic lyrics to western music?
Only way I can think of is to transliterate phonetically into the roman alphabet, as in - hava nagila, hava nagila... I realize this presents certain cultural issues, but what is a music typesetting program to do? I suppose it could be written to set the music right-eft, but that could be a bit challenging to the members of the band... -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
