Candid question: what's the advantage of that over the builtin [mtof]
class?...

Then it's easy to postprocess the result of mtof to split it into:

1. an octave number (integer)
2. a note number (integer from 0 to 11 incl)
3. a cent offset (-50 to 50 excl)

(Hz)

[expr int($f1+0.5); $f1-int($f1+0.5)]

[expr int($f1/12); $f1%12]         |
 |                      |          |
(octave)              (note)     (cents)

(caveat: ideally, % and int would be replaced by mod and floor, but the
latter aren't in pd afaik)
