degree [Item Type]

The integer position of an entry in a musical scale. Scale entries have three different aspects: a note, or symbolic note name, a pitch, or floating point frequency, and a degree, or ordinal position.

Each of these reference types is supported by a function for converting to that type and a macro for creating item streams of that type.
