'''Error''' is a measurement of the deviation of an interval from another interval that it is approximating. | '''Error''' is a measurement of the deviation of an [[interval]] from another interval that it is approximating. The {{w|retronym}} ''absolute error'' is sometimes used to contrast it with [[relative error]]. | ||
For example, the [[regular temperament|tempered]] ~3/2 of [[quarter-comma meantone]] is 696.578¢, while a [[JI|just]] 3/2 is 701.955¢, so the error of this ~3/2 is 696.578¢ - 701.955¢ = -5.377¢. | For example, the [[regular temperament|tempered]] ~3/2 of [[quarter-comma meantone]] is 696.578¢, while a [[JI|just]] 3/2 is 701.955¢, so the error of this ~3/2 is 696.578¢ - 701.955¢ = -5.377¢. | ||
