[Groff] Foxley roff music notes of 1987

[Bernd Warken]

There is an old roff language for programming music notes.
This is a troff preprocessor that translates into pic.
The author is Eric Foxley at university of Nottingham, UK.

In 1987 there was a book
Music: A Troff Preprocessor for printing music scores Eric Foxley
that isn't available anymore.

But at Google books there is an ABSTRACT at AUUGN for Aug. 1987,
vol. 8 number 3-4, page 112-128.  You find it at Google by
searching `troff music eric foxley AUUGN'.

I do not understand why this preprocessor was not integrated.
Foxley has created a database of 1200 folk tunes and more, but
I did not find anything about the preprocessor source.

Maybe someone should contact him.  I think best would be 
someone from a British university.
