I was wondering if Lilypond can do the seven-shape shape note system,

documentation). If it can do the seven-shape system, how does one do
it?
On a side note: I'm a big fan of the seven-shape system, but frankly,
the four-note system doesn't make much sense to me. Why use the
four-shape system? Does it have advantages? If so, what are they?
The four shape system is brutally effective. The seven shape system
takes a little more getting used to and the shapes are a little less
distinct from each other.
I seem to remember that HanWen did implement 7 note support, but don't
remember much else.
I heard about a bug in the shapenote code; I'll need to do some
experimental hymn entries to remember what it was and report it.
