	'''Error''' is a measurement of the deviation of an [[interval]] from another interval that it is approximating. The {{w\|retronym}} ''absolute error'' is sometimes used to contrast it with [[relative error]]. Error is usually signed, with a positive value indicating an overshoot of the target, and a negative value indicating an undershoot. The {{w\|absolute value}} of error is called ''unsigned error''.

Error is usually signed, with a positive value indicating an overshoot of the target, and a negative value indicating an undershoot. The {{w\|absolute value}} of error is called ''unsigned error''.

	For example, the [[regular temperament\|tempered]] ~3/2 of [[quarter-comma meantone]] is 696.~~578¢~~, while a [[JI\|just]] 3/2 is 701.~~955¢~~, so the error of this ~3/2 is {{nowrap\|696.578{{c}} − 701.955{{c}} {{=}} −5.377{{c}}}}.
