Well, in as much as this could possibly be done -- without *immense*  
amounts of programming (and some AI) -- it's already in there:  
ChordNames can certainly be overridden to show (e.g.) "V 6/4" in  
place of "C/G". In other words, using ChordNames.chordNameExceptions  
and \transpose, you can probably already get pretty close to what you  
want in the current version.

As for *real* (i.e., human-equivalent) analysis, it will be extremely  
difficult to have this automated... heck, it's often extremely  
difficult to get two *humans* to agree on the analysis of a given  
musical passage!  ;-)

Hope this helps!
