True enough.... cents deviation from a musically arrived at recorded 
tuning well to mark you :)

Far be it for me to try and deny the usefullness of cents in our work... 
that was not my meaning.... its just that I read something into Dons 
words (which of course may or may not have really been there :) ) that I 
felt need issue to take with.
