Cent, in the context of music, is a term used to describe a unit of measurement for musical intervals. One cent is equal to one hundredth of a semitone in the 12-tone equal temperament system, which is the most common tuning system used in Western music. Because a semitone is the smallest interval typically used in Western music, cents provide a more granular way to discuss pitch differences.
