Martina, Djilda Abbott and Ephraim Segerman did an article in the 1970's with such formulae in the Galpin Society Journal (Volume XXVII and the Corrections section in Volume XVIII). I've heard that some of Segerman's findings have been challenged over the years, though. Perhaps Peter Forrester can catch us both up to speed on how the article has held up over time.
