Returns a human-readable interval name from a cent value.
Matches to the nearest 12-TET interval within ±10 cents, compound intervals included
(Major 10th (M10), Perfect 15th (P15)); the tritone is Tritone (A4/d5) and its
compounds Augmented 11th (A11). Otherwise returns the raw cent value.
Useful for microtonal tunings where exact semitone counts don't apply.
