There is a music notation system, abc notation, that uses letters and
numbers to delineate tunes very well. Information can be found at:
www.gre.ac.uk/~c.walshaw/abc. This site also has links to shareware and
freeware programs for both Mac and IBM platforms that will convert abc to and
from MIDI files and print out abc notated tunes in standard musical notation.
There are already thousands of folk tunes notated in this manner.
