Damm!!!! all this discussion about steps, half steps, quarter steps etc.

And here I always thought steps were different ways to dance to certain =
music.  LIke one step, two step, box step and what ever.  I can't =
believe what I learn from this list.   I'm underwhelmed.

      I think part of the problem is that we are calling these half =
steps.  The=20
      distance between E and F is no larger than between F and F#.  It =
is still=20
      100 cents.  Why do we insist on calling those things whole steps =
anyway.?=20



    James,=20

    These are half-steps(not whole steps), aka half-tones, semi-tones or =
minor seconds, and there are 100 equal divisions between them.  Each one =
of these miniscule portions is called a cent.=20
