The lilypond exported by nted is wrong. You've got elements which are
not valid UTF8 in there, and the places where you want to use
gershayim, you're not actually using it.
The attached example (which isn't exactly correct, but I don't
read/speak hebrew, so I can't be bothered to fix it) at least resolves
these problems, and properly uses gershayim.
