I agree with Laura.
The roman numerals question is simple enough that it can wait.
Basso continuo is defnitely the father of modern chord notation
(alfabeto notation is the mother in case anybody wonders), but it's
based on a slightly different understanding of chords and poses
completely different and really serius problems. So let's deal with that later.
