Lyrics tips
Liturgical Hebrew has many shva and guttural sounds - full niqqud on the whole text gives the most accurate pronunciation. Hebrew tips: write the lyrics in Hebrew script and add niqqud to any word the model might misread (homographs such as ספר / סַפָּר / סֵפֶר, or verbs like אָהַבְתִּי). Most Hebrew words are stressed on the last syllable - if a word comes out with the wrong stress, add niqqud or split it with a hyphen. Keep lines short (6-9 syllables), avoid stacking guttural letters (ח, ע) at the end of sung lines, and generate a short verse first to check pronunciation before writing the full song.
