To all,

I am new to this list and not familiar with previous traffic here 
regarding my query, which is:

Are there in existence a set of rules for transliterating Hebrew into 
a Latin alphabet which will give the reader an idea of the 
traditional Sephardi pronunciation?

I am a publisher of music, and for the first time, I have been 
entrusted in publishing a composition with Hebrew text. (Hebrew is my 
native language). I need to provide a phonetic transliteration which 
will give a non-Hebrew speaker a fairly good notion on how to 
pronounce the lyrics (from Shir Ha-Shirim), in a way that will make a 
difference between Aleph, Hei and Eyin.

If there is such a thing in existence, I appreciate pointing me in 
the right direction.

Thanks in advance.
