I'm using the \rN function for most of the work in my class (and I'm still grateful for everyone's help), however, I'm having some issues with horizontal alignment.  The following score produces a bassline with roman numerals, but I can't seem to get the numerals themselves to horizontally align.  I tried several of the \markup commands (like \line and \center), and tried the \override DynamicLineSpanner #'Y-extent function to no avail.  Is this an easy fix?  I couldn't find anything in the archives and I'm probably not using something correctly.

Thanks as always,

Jerod

The immediate solution to your problem is to add this line:

\override TextScript #'self-alignment-X = #CENTER

If you'd like the text to be vertically in line as well:

\override TextScript #'padding = #3

You don't have to worry about these issues if you attach the analysis as lyrics.  Then each markup is centered by default and all text appears in a single line.  (You'll also find that the inversion figures are better spaced.)  I've attached a file (including the \rN function) which adapts your example.

HTH,

David
