%INTERVALS2NOTES Convert an interval_list to an array of notes w.r.t. a root
% 
% [notes, success, errormessage] = intervals2notes(interval_list, root, {verbose})
% 
% Converts the intervals in interval_list to correctly spelled notes with 
% respect to the root note.
% 
% Success = 1 if intervals converted correctly, 0 otherwise.
% 
% If optional argument 'verbose' is 1, function prints any errormessage to 
% the screen.
%
% returns: notes (cell array of strings)
%          success (boolean)
%          errormessage (string)
