Description
### Enhancement Summary
Musical notation / Numerals is important for composing and for using borrowed chords. Other DAWs like Pro-tool, Bitwig and Ableton has it.
I think Ableton' implementation is fully satisfying, There simply just a toggle that changes key-names to degrees. (There are no reason to actually use Romans, even though that would be correct)
Here is a mockup for Amin:
Each scale-degree is numbered and extending the triade is easy and logical.
### Implementation Details / Mockup
Perhaps it could be an option to add numerals to the keys, when the user select the scale

Research direction
Start by locating the piano-roll UI and the code that handles the currently selected scale. Review the proposed toggle and the Amin mockup before deciding how scale degrees should be displayed. Done means the piano roll can show musical numerals as an option when a scale is selected, with coverage for the supported display behavior.
