The '''microtone''' is a [[unit of interval size]] equal to one one-millionth of a [[Tone|whole tone]]. It can be considered as sufficiently precise for all thinkable musical and music-science purposes. Besides its high accuracy, it is of high neutrality since it favors neither twelve-tonality nor even the [[octave]]. Nevertheless its relevance for practical application in music is low due to the incompatibility with "[[human scale]]". Humans are not good at big numbers and have only limited pitch perception (the [[Just-noticeable difference]] (JND) is around 6 cents). | The '''microtone''' is a [[unit of interval size]] equal to one one-millionth of a [[Tone|whole tone]].
