<I
know that LilyPond does not currently support Tonic Sol-Fa <notation.
However, in my work on African Hymn I found that many <Africans are
familiar with this form of notation. Most of my source <material was
originally set using this format. I devised a <spreadsheet with formulas
to convert bars of tonic sol-fa into <lilypond notation. Actually it just
converts the d, m, r, f etc to <the appropriate a, b, c etc based on the
key of the song. I added <shortcuts for adding rests and skips as well -
simply using SS <instead of s and RR instead of r. Once I have entered
the notes <simply copy the converted columns into LilyPond and voila!
