Help with "bad" tuning...need help

[Stéphane Collin]

Nope.

The cent is a scientifical unit of measure of musical intervals mainly used 
in anglo-saxon countries, introduced by A.J. Ellis (England, 1804 - 1890), 
and equal to 1/100 of an equaly tempered semi-tone.  Ellis needed this 
relative highth of pitch measure for his phonetic studies about english 
dialects, and the various ways vowels were pronounced in different 
countries.
