Greetings and let's all hold on a second (:)}} This is a contradiction to me, when Newton posts: >there are 8 cents per beat at A=440. and also > At A=440 there >are about 26 Hertz difference between semitone. > Newton If there are 100 cents between semitones, and there is also 26 Hz. between semitones at A440, then there is the equivalence of about 4 cents per Hz . Glenn writes: >> Wouldn't six beats higher than A440 be 441.something? I'm basing that on >> knowing that to tune to 442 you must tune A440 8 beats sharp. This is confusing cents and beats. You tune A4 sharp by 8 cents in order to arrive at 442. 4 cents sharp will put you at 441. At this pitch, 1 beat closely approximates 4 cents. Regards, Ed Foote
