Chapter on Cantonese Romanizaton in Routledge Encyclopedia of the Chinese Language
"The peculiarity as a result of using tone letter h causes some later versions to discard it altogether and replace the diacritics with tone number: /55/ (or /53/, /5/), /25/, /33/ (or /3/), /21/, /23/, and /22/ (or /2/) are numbered from 1 to 6. In this ‘simplified’ version, yuht yúh and gwóng dūng wá are given as yut6 yu5 and gwong2 dung1 wa2" (emphasis mine).

耶魯拼音一般用聲調符號嚟標調,並且喺陽聲調嘅元音後邊加 h。喺唔方便用聲調符號嗰陣,亦會使用數字標調
粵語廣州話嘅陰平調有 53 同 55 兩種調值,又分別叫「上陰平」同「下陰平」。現代粵語中呢兩種調值一般爲自由變體,冇特別區分,所以粵拼、廣拼、教院方案都用調號 1 代表陰平調;而耶魯、劉錫祥就有區分呢兩種調值。對於三個入聲調,教院方案可用 7、8、9 標,亦可用 1、3、6 標。
Solution
I wrote three simple regular expressions in JavaScript style to replace the tone numbers in pingyambiu.

- Replace
^([a-z]+)8\t with $13\t
- Replace
^([a-z]+)9\t with $16\t
