today to my amazement, i discovered, that the midi decimals in mtof equal cents 
:-)
sorry, for stating the obvious. better late then never, at least for me…i 
literally hit my head when i recognized this.
i´ve searched the archives for "mtof cents” and didn´t find a mention of this.

now that i´ve outed myself as a dummie, forward on with one suggestion:
wouldn´t it be helpful for future slowfoxes like me, to mention that somehow in 
mtofs helpfile?
at the moment it reads: You can specify microtonal pitches as in "69.5" (a 
quarter tone higher than 69).
my suggestion would be to add: The decimals specify cents as in .01 = 1 cent.

further question:
i am working in a recent pd vanilla double and was expecting to see more 
decimals
e.g. 
pd: 69.031 into mtof gives 440.789
javascript: 440 + 3.1 cent gives: 440.78858311490677
its not that i would claim to hear a difference between 440.789 and 440.7885 
hz, but i could imagine cases, where working further these roundings accumulate.
or maybe another case of limitation on the display-side of things?

best
hans
