Prepare to get a boatload of responses on your question, but I'll offer here 
what will probably be the 'lowtech' version of determining cents.

A440 down 1/2 step to G# (415.3, but lets say 415 for now)

440 beats minus 415  beats = 25 beats   = 100 cents

so.......each beat away from 440 is about 4 cents

simple enough?
