[[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.

As on Wikipedia, please use {{w|WP:"|{{preferred|<big>&quot;</big>straight<big>&quot;</big>}}}} quotes and {{w|WP:'|{{preferred|<big>&#39;</big>straight<big>&#39;</big>}}}} apostrophes, not {{avoid|<big>&ldquo;</big>curly<big>&rdquo;</big>}} quotes or {{avoid|<big>&lsquo;</big>curly<big>&rsquo;</big>}} apostrophes, and 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, except in special cases and when such marks are internal to non-English text. (Straight quotes are much easier to type on most keyboards and produce far fewer encoding problems.)
