Original Wikitext content:
**Ice-face tuning** is a method of performing quarter tones on a standard piano or harp by tuning the black notes or accidentals 50 cents higher than normal. The result is an uneven 12-tone scale that consists of the formula: LsLsMLsLsLM where the L consists of 150 cents, the M of 100 cents, and the s of 50 cents. The scale may be referred to as Ice-face[12] and consists of three sizes of tones. The idea of Ice-face came from Hidekazu Wakabayashi in a dream he had. Wakabayashi claimed that he saw a woman playing a piano that was presumably tuned in the same way that Ice-face[12] is tuned. <span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5;">The basic idea is to raise the pitch of the black notes in 12 EDO up 50 cents, which gives the</span> scale C Dd D Ed E F Gd G Ad A Bd B C. <span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5;">Tuning in [[Scala]] format:</span> !
