Hi, I want to add lyrics to a score. The lyrics are in Hebrew. Hebrew is written from right to left. I put the whole text in the lyrics window. But as I wanted to click the texts into the score it clicks the last word of the first line, first.
What I tried: I highlighted the first word, and tried to click it in. it clicked in the last word
I tried to write in the score itself, the letters were garbled. to close one another.
I need some help. thank you

The only way I've been able to do this is with the Shalom font, which is NOT a right-to-left font, but rather, is mapped to a left-to-right entry. There are two problems with this approach. First is that you have to enter each syllable backwards with Type Into Score. That's not a big deal for me, because I've been using this approach for titles for fifteen years. The second problem, which I have not been able to fix, is that the hyphen to jump to the next syllable is mapped to the patach, and so it shows up in the wrong position.
Sorry I can't be more help.
Thank you, first where do I. Find the Shalom font?
I'm trying to play around a bit. I changed the font to Arial font standard size 12, so it's not garbled, I can read it normal. But putting in the lyrics is arduous job!
I want to put in the כל מקדש from zemirot. I'm holding by the fourth line and I'm almost giving up.
First is it possible to put to words on one note, let say על פי on a half note? Then the extensions is a hassel, when I don't need it it appears. When I put in a half word and need the extension I need to go to the menu to make the extension.
Here is a link to the font. Note that it is not mapped to the standard Hebrew keyboard. Send me an email at wawoodman at aol dot com, and I’ll send you the cheat sheet.

You can put two syllables on a single note by using a hard space between them.
