Hi Doug,

Octaves come from music. A note one octave higher than another is twice
the frequency, or a piece of string half as long ;)

consequently half an octave is a number which I cant work out in my head
being half of double. This aint a linear thing, and I am no
mathematician. Lets just say it is the distance from say middle C to F
sharp, but then I am no musician either.

regards
mark
