There is nothing unusual about that and I would see no reason why any musician 
would need further explanation.  Just write the notes and they will play it.

Look at chord fingerings under "Fingering Instructions" in the documentation, 
you might be able to do something with that.  However, speaking from the 
musician's perspective adding Roman numerals to what is a simple three note 
phrase would seem more confusing than helpful- especially as Roman numerals 
already have other uses in music.
