==Logarithmic interval measures==
==Logarithmic interval measures==
For normal tables, we decided to stick to [[cent|cent]] values with a fixed precision, mostly 2 or 3 in the fractional part. 3 is helpful when serving as a canonical reference point for people to compare their own calculations with. Its main purpose is to give an idea of interval sizes and relation to known intervals in the [[12edo|12edo]] system of western music. Alternative measures are acceptable if they better reflect the idea behind an interval system, scale etc. More than one logarithmic size column should be avoided.
