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. The scale can be thought of as mohajira superimposed over a diatonic major scale. </span>
