The [[ | The [[cent]] (¢) is the classic measure for intervals when more precision than 12edo is requied. Some people object to it on the grounds that it is too closely related to 12 equal. | ||

It is defined as on 100th (or 1 percent) of the interval between two neigbouring pitches in the used equal tuning. | ||
