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, which helps in the development of table creators such as [[Piotr Grochowski]]'s [https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/249278782/ one for Selected just intervals by error]. 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.

Alternative [[interval size measure]]s are acceptable if they better reflect the idea behind an interval system, scale etc. but "competing" columns with logarithmic sizes in the same table should usually be avoided.
