A '''cent''' is the interval equal to exactly 1/100th (or 1%) of a [[12-EDO]] semitone. In other words, cents divide the half step (semitone) of 12-EDO into 100 equal parts. | A '''cent''' ('''¢''') is the interval equal to exactly 1/100th (or 1%) of a [[12-EDO]] semitone.

Cents are often used to express the size of intervals in different tuning systems, sometimes to express the accuracy of the representation of a [[just intonation]] [[interval]] in a given system. | Cents are often used to express the size of intervals in different tuning systems, sometimes to express the accuracy of the representation of a [[just intonation]] [[interval]] in a given system. | ||
