7 of 11 on Voyager, a microtonalist!

Yes, while watching an episode of Star Trek Voyager, 7 of 11 (already with
implications) castigates the holographic doctor for singing out of tune.

He was singing "Oh, My Darling Clementine" but was off by ".3 deci-hertz,"
flat! It seems that his program had been altered.

Are there any deci-Hertz? Should there be? Composer David Glazier uses a
computer program that calculates 4,096 equal divisions of an equal tempered
semitone. He was disappointed that he couldn't tell the difference between
close intervals.

Best, Johnny Reinhard

3/100 cps? Hell, her ear is better than yours, Johnny! BTW, she is 7
of 9, a mighty sweet interval.
