This comes up so often, and is so confusing to so many of us, that I put together a quick Excel worksheet today covering the entire piano range, A-0 to C-8 (like the one on the web site, only bigger), and a calculator for cents difference between two pitches, and one for pitch result for cents deviation. If anyone would like a copy, let me know and I'll send you one. Then the next time it comes up, everyone who has a copy can offer to send it to the next guy until everyone who's remotely interested (and has Excel) has a copy. Ron N
