(You can also get ones with a digital read-out)

1. Measure the diameter of the seat tube just above the chainring.
2. Measure the gap between the seat tube and the centre of the chainring.
3. Add half of measurement 1 to measurement 2 to find your chainline.

Even I have done it successfully!

The recommended chainline can be found here: https://www.rohloff.de/en/products/speedhub/equipment/

Mine comes out as 56.5mm

mickeg:
My chainline is off by about 5mm.  I intentionally set it that way to have a bottom bracket spindle about 100 mm shorter than I would have needed for ideal chainline.

I suffer no ill effects from that chainline error, but I use standard 8 speed cheapo chainrings and the cheapest KMC 8 speed chains I can find.  I have not tried the higher end stuff like you cite.
