I searched for "markup" in the LSR and found the following snippet:

http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=349

So you can define a command like \smark as follows:

smark =#(define-music-function (parser location string) (string?)
      (make-music
              'TextScriptEvent
              'direction UP
              'text (markup #:small string)))

and put it _before_ the note where it should appear:

c4 \smark "III" d \smark "IV" e f

Here, the "III" appears over the d, while "IV" is placed over the e.
