As far as converting voynich words to music, it's an interesting project.

Have you thought about what preconceptions you are bringing to the table in terms of what sounds good to you.
How would it sound in a different scale such as the Hejaz scale or the pentatonic scale ?
Perhaps this list will be of use to you:

Thanks for the info. I had a quick look at some but not quite what I am about, they give quite complex output using predefined values someone else has decided. I'm looking at just a clean and simple output using specifically chosen input values I decide represent the glyphs best. So far results are promising, no symphony for sure but can see there is sense and pattern rather than random. I don't have a keyboard so just one finger virtual music making. If you just hit keys at random from even a restricted range of notes it does not guarantee music, so to get melody, even if sometimes like "The Rite of Spring" rather than Mozart, says something about the contents of the VM. I hope to be able to use the results as a tool to check unclear sequences of text in the manuscript. So far ch and c+h EVA both give results and where s/r, o/a or y/n are unclear in the manuscript the musical notes can sometimes separate the correct type, sometimes it doesn't matter and either work. Intriguing that the text seems quite flexible whilst retaining meaningful information - but that is a different arena for the manuscript.
The experiment is not to necessarily create real music or "solve" the manuscript, its to test the theory that the glyphs are flexible, anything can be input and real output attained. As for "preconceptions and what sounds good", as a novice to the world of music, I'm purely playing by ear! "Hejaz scale or the pentatonic scale", no idea what that even means, may as well be talking Martian, It really is a case of monkeys on typewriters, so if I get any sense it is purely because it is a property of the manuscript text.
