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?

yes, i am already using pd double. not every object is double ready though in my experience. sometimes hard to tell apart...
@alexandre: thanks for the offer to file a feature request for the helpfile change. i can do it too, but wasn´t sure if i should flood the long list with this trivia.

It would be very useful if you tell whats not ready. Either here on the "list" or issues on https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues
