There are quite a number of different systems out there, but it's common to them all 
that they use some combination of Roman letters with numbers (often subscript or 
superscript), musical accidentals (flat / sharp signs); plus / minus / greater-than or 
smaller-than signs, and other graphical symbols such as strokes, brackets, circumflex 
accents...

Many systems (including the "Schenkerian" analysis that is fashionable in the 
Anglo-Saxon world) use capital Roman numerals as their base symbols  while other 
systems (such as the "Riemannian" analysis that is common in Germany) use letter 
combinations that stand for the harmonic functions: T, D, S, Tp, and so forth, 
including the "double-dominant" and "double-subdominant" symbols (partial overlay of 
two "D"s or two "S"s respectively.)

Do you need a few scans?
