For equal divisions of the octave into n divisions, the equation is to find the nth root of 2.

Given that I can't find a symbol/funtion for [expr] to take the 'nth root' of something, how do I calculate it?

nth-root

[expr pow($f1,1.0/n)] where n is the nth root (because the nth root of n is the same as finding the power of 1/n). That example would ind the nth root of the input. If you want the input to [expr] to be n in finding the nth root of 2, you would use [expr pow(2,1.0/$f1)]

[expr pow($f1,1.0/n)] where n is the nth root (because the nth root of n is the same as finding the power of 1/n).  That example would ind the nth root of the input.  If you want the input to [expr] to be n in finding the nth root of 2, you would use [expr pow(2,1.0/$f1)]


Excellent...I figured it was something so straightforward but I just wasn't getting it...thank you!

nth root?
