Music Notation



Here's an ignorant question:  How does sheet music for Hebrew lyrics
work?  The obvious problem is that music notation goes left-to-right,
but Hebrew goes right-to-left.  Are the Hebrew words transliterated
into latin characters?  (All the sheet music for Hebrew songs I've
seen used this method.)  What do songbooks look like in Israel?
