This comes up so often, and is so confusing to so many of us, that I put 
together a quick Excel worksheet today covering the entire piano range, A-0 
to C-8 (like the one on the web site, only bigger), and a calculator for 
cents difference between two pitches, and one for pitch result for cents 
deviation. If anyone would like a copy, let me know and I'll send you one. 
Then the next time it comes up, everyone who has a copy can offer to send 
it to the next guy until everyone who's remotely interested (and has Excel) 
has a copy.
