In ET, G#4 is 415.3 cycles per second. That would be 100 cents flat of =
A4. A-415 is slightly flatter than that, so 101.3 is about right.

      Hi Joseph,



      So if I understand this right, cents are units along a scale =
leading from one half tone to the next, while beats are pegged to the =
specific unison's frquency. Did I understand this right?



      Peace
