Dear Jims Coleman and Grebe-

Isn't this what you're trying to say:

 A440     +4cents    =  441Hz
 A880     +4cents    =  882Hz
E1320     +4cents    = 1323Hz
A1760     +4cents    = 1764Hz 

so that it doesn't matter at which partial the cents are added?
Except, of course for some small(?) deviations due to inharmonicity.
If I'm incorrect about these small deviations, please correct me.
