Re: chords as roman numerals?

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you only wanted numbers and accidentals, you could have used the
support for figured bass (see the reference manual). However, for
your needs, I would recommend to typeset them using ordinary text 
markup, which also is well described in the manual. The disadvantage
is that the different chord indications will not be aligned vertically.
If you want them vertically aligned, you could typeset as a lyrics line.
But then you would have to say something like V$_7$ to get the subscripts,
