Disclaimer: I am most definitely not an expert on music
I guess this is more as a question than a statment.
In either an octive or nonave, when you jump from a note at one level to the
same note on the next level you are doubling the frequency. In an octive
that distance is divided into seven notes. In a nonave its divided into
more notes; but jumping from one level to the next is still just the
frequency doubled.
qar'a'?
