deg

deg(optional)Captures scale degree information using Humdrum **deg syntax -- an optional indicator of melodic approach (^ = ascending approach, v = descending approach), a scale degree value (1 = tonic ... 7 = leading tone), and an optional indication of chromatic alteration, 1, v7, ^1, or v5+, for example. The amount of chromatic alternation is not indicated. Value conforms to data.SCALEDEGREE.
