%CHORD2MIDINOTES Generate MIDI note values for a given chord symbol
% 
% [midinotes, success, errormessage] = chord2midinotes(chordsymbol, {verbose})
% 
% Obtains a set of midi note values for notes present in chord "chordsymbol".
% The voicing is built on the rootnote with all other degrees occuring 
% above in number order unless a bass degree is specified.
%
% In the case of the 'no chord' symbol 'N' function returns midinote -1
%
% Success = 1 if chord is converted correctly else 0.
% 
% If optional argument 'verbose' is 1, function prints any errormessage to 
% the screen.
%
% Returns:  midinotes (array of integers)
%           success (boolean)
%           errormessage (string)
