Right-to-Left

[Hosam Adeeb Nashed]

Hi there,
I know Lilypond does have all what most musicians from my region (Egypt)
would dream of, especially customised key signatures.  Still, I dream of the
day I can write music from Right to Left.

You see, there used to be a time when all Christian hymns in Arabic were
written (=off-set) in the most natural direction for reading music under the
music staff.  Currently, this is not the case, unfortunately.

I don't know if, one day, the Lilypond core would permit this with a simple
/Option.  So, my question is this: Is it at all possible to programmatically
control the direction of the written music?  I haven't tried to delve into
the matter myself, preferring to first consult the Gurus before actually
trying; chasing ghosts isn't fun at all...

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
