half-flat? half-sharp?

honestly i've never encountered this _expression_ in english in europe or US with any ensemble or composer i've been involved with

(and i've directed and recorded a lot of microtonal music...branca, kline, scelsi, nono, xenakis, ziporyn)

Umm, can we check something here?

Please, that's the whole point of this.

I agree; I've never encountered the term "half-flats".  But maybe
it's a European thing?  (or a poor translation from the
appropriate terms in Dutch or French or something?)


... which includes both terms in the caption towards the bottom of
the page.

To me this is an obvious error and I immediately want to know who's
behind the wiki article (as is, alas, so frequently the case on wiki).

If you're really interested in tracking it down (and sending
insulting emails or something ;)  you could check the history for
the page.

Have fun,
