Savart
The savart /səˈvɑːr/ is a unit of measurement for musical pitch intervals (
play ). One savart is equal to one thousandth of a decade (10/1: 3,986.313714 cents): 3.9863 cents. Today the savart has largely been replaced by the cent and the millioctave. The savart is practically the same as the earlier heptameride (eptameride), one seventh of a meride. One tenth of an heptameride is a decameride and a hundredth of an heptameride (thousandth of a decade) is a jot.
Definition
If 
is the ratio of frequencies of a given interval, the corresponding measure in savarts is given by:
or
Like the more common cent, the savart is a logarithmic measure, and thus intervals can be added by simply adding their savart values, instead of multiplying them as you would frequencies. The number of savarts in an octave is 1000 times the base-10 logarithm of 2, or nearly 301.03. Sometimes this is rounded to 300, which makes the unit more useful for equal temperament.
Conversion
The conversion from savarts into cents or millioctaves is:

SWEET FREEDOM
by: Safri DuoNo more runnin’ down the wrong road
Dancin’ to a different drum
Can’t you see what’s goin’ on
Deep inside your heart
Always searchin’ for the real thing
Livin’ like it’s far away
Leave all the madness in yesterday
You’re holdin’ the key
When you believe it
Shine sweet freedom
Shine your light on me
You are the magic
You’re right where I wanna be
Oh sweet freedom carry me along
We’ll keep the spirit alive on and on
We’ll be dancin’ in the moonlight
Sailin' with the risin' sun
Livin’ like we’ve never done
Goin’ all the way
Reachin’ out to meet the changes
Touchin’ every shining star
The light of tomorrow is right where we are
There’s no turnin’ back
From what I’m feeling
Shine sweet freedom
Shine your light on me
You are the magic
You’re right where I wanna be
Oh sweet freedom carry me along
We’ll keep the spirit alive on and on
Coz there’ll be starlight all night
When we’re close together
Share those feelings dancin' in your eyes
Tonight they’re guiding us
