The formula I've given here for working out cent values is correct, but I'm sure there must be a nicer way of displaying it - can anybody make it look pretty? --Camembert

sadly, not yet. There has been a sugestion on the mailing list to implement nicer formulae. I keep meaning to being itup again, but seeeing as we an't even agree ona simple change of URL... -- Tarquin 19:09 Oct 21, 2002 (UTC)

I'm not a mathematician, but I have my suspicions that the formula I added for musical cents, ie:

    1200 log(a/b)
n = -------------
       log(2)

Is equivalent to n = 1200 log₂(a/b). Am I right, and if I am, would it be better to change the formula to read that, or leave it as it is so that people can do the sums on their pocket calculators without having to know how to change bases? --Camembert

Yes, it's right (Logarithmic Identities). Put both formulae in. :-) -- Tarquin
