In James defense, I sometimes use % as well with my clients. It is often simpler for them to get a grip on how far out of tune a piano is with percentages rather than "cents". You know, they get all wigged out with these fancy technical terms. For whatever reason, I have more success explaining to my clients that A is 75% of the way to G#. However, with other technicians, I see every reason to stick with cents, as at least we all know what we're referring to - even if we don't understand how to derive the value :-). William R.
