Tommy, you are on the right track, but 1/4 tones are a generic name for a tone smaller than a halfstep; the actual size of a 1/4 tone can vary. Just to make sure things are clear, 100 cents is exactly one [equal tempered] halfstep. Bradley M. Snook >Tommy Black: All I really want to know is.....100 cents is in the neighborhood of 1/2 step, a semitone and therefore 50 cents would represent 1/4 tone.
