Dear Eric,
I don't get what you're trying to do in your example. It looks like you're
trying to invoke the \rN outside of a markup context. It's best used in a
lyrics context or as markup attached to a note (there don't seem to be any
in your example).
And Roman numeral notation in LaTeX is easy with math mode:
V$^4_3$
should do the trick.
I hope this helps,
Kevin Barry
