Roman Numeral Analysis neutral sign keymap?
Hi, I've noticed that when typing in the roman numeral analysis, I'm able to use a 'b' to create a flat and '#' to create a sharp before the inversion indicators, but I'm unable to figure out if there's a key that can let me add a neutral sign (let alone other accidentals), which can get a little frustrating when working with multiple or even non-C/Am keys.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

natural: h key
Is there a particular model you are following here? I did design it so "h" would add a natural, but I'm not really aware of any standard for using it. Most theory texts don't use it at all regardless of key, and indeed, I can't think of any reason key should come, into play (that's one of the whole points of RNA, to remove key from consideration).

I'm not sure that there's a standard, but my professor asks that we use the same accidentals as in the staff, so that's why.

Where exactly do you use Natural?
eg: on the root note?

Hmm, not following that at all. Could you show an example?
the places where you use a natural on the note, what you're actually doing it either riaisng or lowering the pitch. For example, if the key is D, then the third is F sharp, and F natural is notated as b3 or bIII. Never have I see it listed in any context as ♮3 or ♮III. That would be seriously confusing and frankly just wrong. Because then it wouldn't make a lick of sense if you moved to the key of C and wondered what ♮3 or ♮III was suppsoed indicate. And it would seriously wrong if the key were Gb, where according to that logicl, ♮3 would actually mean B natural, when the correct transposition would be B double flat.
So my guess is, you are misunderstanding the instructions you were given.
