[[Cent]] values should be written up to 3 decimal places in most contexts where precision matters, such as [[Technical data guide for regular temperaments|temperament data pages]] and other technical tables. Very small intervals may be written up to 3 significant figures, and in scientific notation if needed. In contexts where high precision does not matter as much, it is generally sufficient to round to 1 decimal place or to the nearest cent. | [[Cent]] values should be written up to 3 decimal places in most contexts where precision matters, such as [[Technical data guide for regular temperaments|temperament data pages]] and other technical tables.

As on Wikipedia, please use | {{w|wp:Manual of Style#Quotation marks|As on Wikipedia}}, please use {{preferred|<big>"</big>straight<big>"</big>}} quotes and {{preferred|<big>'</big>straight<big>'</big>}} apostrophes, instead of {{avoid|<big>“</big>curly<big>”</big>}} quotes or {{avoid|<big>‘</big>curly<big>’</big>}} apostrophes. Avoid using {{avoid|<big>`</big>accent or backtick marks<big>´</big>}}, {{avoid|<big>„</big>low-high quotes<big>“</big>}}, {{avoid|<big>「</big>corner brackets<big>」</big>}}, or {{avoid|<big>«</big>guillemets<big>»</big>}} as quotation marks for English text, except in special cases and when such marks are internal to non-English text, and avoid using accents or backticks as apostrophes. (Straight quotes are much easier to type on most keyboards and produce far fewer encoding problems.) | ||
