+== How to use the example table ==
+I'm much confused by the table in the "examples" section. The first row is labeled "frequency (''f'')", whose entries are 1, 1.19, 1.41, 1.68, 2, and that's perfectly clear to me. Now the second row is labeled "pitch (log<sub>2</sub>''f'')", and the entries, in terms of contents, are identical to those in the first row. So I wondered, maybe these are the ''f'' which should be plugged to log<sub>2</sub>''f''? That gives you the correct pitch relations. But interpreting them this way leads to inconsistent results in the third row. The entries in this row are 1, 0.84, 0.71, 0.59, 0.5, which are clearly lengths, and not meant to be the ''f'' as is plugged to 1/''f''.
+I suggest the following changes:
+* frequency → frequency ratio
+* pitch → size
+* length → length ratio
+And then the "step size" row can show the pitch relations, that is, 0/4 oct, 1/4 oct, 2/4 oct, 3/4 oct, 4/4 oct.
