Original Wikitext content:
**Cent** is an interval size measure. It's a 100th--or one percent--of the interval between two neighboring pitches in [[12edo]]. A generalization for the cent measure is the **[[relative cent]]** which is one 100th of two neigbhboring [[pitch|pitches]] in any [[equal]] tuning. The [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cent_(music)|cent]], first proposed by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_J._Ellis|Alexander Ellis]], is a logarithmic measure which may also be defined as the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm|logarithm]] base the 1200th root of 2, which is by definition one cent.
