Hertz and Cents

[dale r fox]

That is true only in the region of A-440.  That is because a half step in
that area of the scale is about 25hz.  If you travel up the piano an
octave,  a half step will be approximately 50hz.  Ergo,  2 cents per hz. 
The frequency of the next half step can be found with the basic formula
of:  Frequency times the 12th root of 2.  (Sorry,  I don't want to get
into the software manual to try to figure out how to show the
mathematical shorthand.)
