While this system is absurdly large for any human application, from a technical standpoint it is the only one that rightfully bears the name [[Microtonal|'''microtonal''']], since it divides a tone, which is 1/6th of an octave, into 1'000'000 steps, and the SI prefix "micro-" denotes division of a unit into 1 million parts. | While this system is absurdly large for any human application, from a technical standpoint it is the only one that rightfully bears the name [[Microtonal|'''microtonal''']], since it divides a tone, which is 1/6th of an octave, into 1'000'000 steps, and the SI prefix "micro-" denotes division of a unit into 1 million parts. | ||
