AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Mechanical and music nomenclature will
NEVER mesh. That would most likely be a quarter semitone, or twenty five
cents sharp. What is quite reasonably, to a mechanic, a step (one key to
the next), is a half step to those pesky and annoying musician people.
Guess who will have to give in to the other. 

When all the musicians are gone, and there's nothing left but mechanical
and electronic players, a step can be 100 cents.
