NWC lyrics in Hebrew? 2007-03-28 09:31 am Hello,I'm looking for the option of entering lyrics in Hebrew. Until now, I wasn't able to do so, since it doesn't recognize any hebrew font. How is it done?Thanks,Amir. Quote Selected
Re: NWC lyrics in Hebrew? Reply #1 – 2007-03-28 01:07 pm NWC currently supports ANSI text for lyrics. You cannot enter Unicode text, but you can enter ANSI text supported by your localized Windows system. You can control the font from File, Page Setup, Fonts.See also:FAQ - Getting started with lyricshttp://ntworthy.com/composer/faq/15.htm Quote Selected

I want to do Havah Nagilah with my group, using the version in a CASA songbook, but don't know the pronunciation of the words. Anyway you can guide me to phonetic pronunciation please. Quote Selected
Re: NWC lyrics in Hebrew? Reply #3 – 2007-03-29 11:10 pm I would take this from Wikipedia:QuoteHava nagilaHava nagilaHava nagila venis'mecha(repeat stanza once)Hava neranenahHava neranenahHava neranenah venis'mecha(repeat stanza once)Uru, uru achim!Uru achim b'lev sameach(repeat line three times)Uru achim, uru achim!B'lev sameachAll consonants are pronounced as expected, except for ch, which is German ch (IPA /x/)a-a as in fathere-e as in weti-eeo-ohu-oo Quote Selected
Re: NWC lyrics in Hebrew? Reply #4 – 2007-03-29 11:55 pm Thanks Kahman, that will be very helpful, just a couple more needed. What do you do with the comma in venis'mecha and b'lev ? Quote Selected
Re: NWC lyrics in Hebrew? Reply #5 – 2007-03-30 01:29 am Syllabic break. B'lev is probably buh-lev, but with the "buh" very short, just the /b/ sound. Quote Selected
Re: NWC lyrics in Hebrew? Reply #6 – 2007-03-30 01:52 pm I thought it was a glottal stop. The sound in the middle of "uh-uh", or in some pronunciations of "bottle", in place of a "t" sound. Quote Selected
