-The '''millioctave''' ('''moct''') is a logarithmic [[interval size measure]]. It divides the octave (2/1) into 1000 logarithmically equal parts. So, the millioctave can be defined as a frequency ratio of the 1000th root of 2, or 2^0.001. Its independence from the "classical"/"standard" [[12edo]] tuning, and its similarity to other metric/[[wikipedia:International System of Units|SI units]], have led some ethnomusicologists and microtonalists to prefer it over similar measures such as [[cents]]. However, others note that it naturally favors [[10edo]] and its multiples, just as cents favor 12edo and its multiples.
