    As others have mentioned, it seems most common to split the syllables of
    the RTL script, and put them in their ordinary RTL direction under the
    relevant notes.

    However, a while back Thomas Milo forwarded an interesting, and apparently
    rare, example of an early 20th century score which prints the musical
    notation in a right-to-left manner with reversed clefs, augmentation dots
    on the left, and so forth. It was *not* precisely a mirror image.
