To those of us less mathematically challenged than I: I have the formula(s) (thanks Ron N.) for converting hertz to tension (given a specific string diameter, density (or whatever), and speaking length), but I need to convert pitch in units of notes and cents into hertz. For example: I measure a pitch on my Accutuner as being D5 plus 60 cents. I know that I can find a non-stretched pitch in hertz for D5 on a table somewhere (or any other note - I have this somewhere I think), but how do I add the 60 cents to the D5 hertz value? Thanks to any of the professors out there. Terry Farrell
