%DEGREE2NOTE convert a degree to correctly spelled note w.r.t. a root
% 
% [note,success,errormessage] = degree2note(degree, root {verbose})
% 
% Converts a degree to a note (string) with root as reference note 
% for degree interval.
% 
% Success = 1 if degree is converted correctly, 0 otherwise.
% 
% If optional argument 'verbose' is 1, function prints any errormessage to 
% the screen.
%
% returns:  note (string)
%           success (boolean)
%           errormessage (string)
%
% See also degrees2notes, parsenote.
