Terrible question about a distinctive chord name system

[hhpmusic]

Hi,
  I think this question is extreme a big challenge to you all, but is very urgent for me.
  I can't go to New England Conservatory, because I was forced by the two unabled deans to learn the piano when entering my local conservatory. This stopped me from learning composition, so I have no formal piece to submit. I have not finish the harmony course Now I want to learn it with my original composition teacher. I want to do the exercises myself, without talking to my mother to transcribe the results. Most of Chinese composition teachers accept a harmony textbook published in 1940s or 1950s by the pre Soviet Union, thus the Sbosobin edition. This edition uses a very distinctive chord naming system--functional chord name system. For example, the tonic major triad is written as T, subtonic triad is S, and dominant is D. Chords share two notes of both T and S or D and T are prefixed by two function letters and then the root step and optional Arabic numbers. The convention is as follows:
(the plus and minus are optional, above the chord name letter or the number (if it exists))

C major functional chart
Natural chords:
                three major triads
      <f a c'>      <c' a' g'>        <g' b' d''>
      S             T                 D
                    vice triads
<d f a>     <a c' e'>        <e' g' b'>         <b' d'' f''>
SII         TSII             DTIIi              DVII-
most unstable       most stable                 most unstable

Other chords:
<c' e' gis'>
T+
Invertions
<e' g' c''>
T6
<g' c'' e''> % common
T6
 4
<g' c'' e''> % at cadence
K6
 4
<g b d' f'> <b d' f' g'> ...
D7          D6
             5
<b d' f' a'> <b d' f' aes'>
DVII7-       dVII7--
<g b d' f' a'>
D9
<g b f' e'>
D13
 7

The must common out-of-tonality chords (Dominant's dominant):
<d' fis' a' c''>
DD7
<fis' a' c'' e''>
DDVII7-
<fis' aes' c'' ees''> or <fis' aes' c'' dis''>
b3DDVII7--
<aes' c'' d'' fis''> <aes' c'' ees'' fis''>
b5DD4                b3DDVII6--
    3                       5

Other altered chords:
\relative c' { <g des' f b dis> }
              b5#5D7
\relative c { <f des' aes' des> }
              b1SII6
           or SN6 or N6

  Sometimes the invertion comes immediately after the origin, the prefix is omitted:

\relative c { <c g e' c'> <e c' g' c> }
              T           6

  When leaving tonality (a Chinese call, shown below, you'll know what it means), an arrow is shown:

\relative c { <c g' e' c'> <cis g' e' bes'> <d f d' a'> }
              T            DVII7- arrow     SII

  Is there a way to write these chord names? Must I have to use markup function? That's too complicated!

Regards
Haipeng
