%CHORD2PITCHCLASSES Convert chord symbol to array of pitch classes
% 
% [pitchclasses, bassclass, success, errormessage] = chord2pitchclasses(chordsymbol, {inversion}, {verbose})
% 
% Converts a chord symbol to an array of integer pitch class values and a
% bass pitch class value. Pitch class values are referenced w.r.t. C = 0.
%
% In the case of the 'no chord' symbol 'N' function returns an empty array
%
% Success = 1 if notes extracted from chordsymbol correctly, 0 otherwise.
% 
% If optional argument 'verbose' is 1, function prints any errormessage to 
% the screen.
% 
% calls:    chord2notes
%           notes2pitchclasses
% 
% returns:  pitchclasses (array of integers)
%           bassclass (integer)           
%           success (boolean)
%           errormessage (string)
