Actually not quite. 23,124651419477149933355950596413 Hz is F#
(55/4 * 2 ^ 9/12). For calculating the exact note 23 Hz is (A + 8.9...),
see my previous message. Though I guess you can just take 27.5 and
divide it by (2 root: 12) three times as you say you did.
Either way it's commendable if you did the math all by yourself.

This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. Even if it erases your 
hard drive, too bad. Although we did fix that bug from the last release.
