Ok... I am confused again... Do you mean 25 % of a whole tone.... or 
half a tone ?  And if the latter... do you mean volume wise or perhaps 
this is some new way of describing the octave below... but wait... 50% 
of 1200 cents is 600 cents... which would be a diminished quark or 
something....Oh I give up !
