Hi y'all,
Half-flat perfectly makes sense, as a flat is a semi-tone and we
want
to name a quarter tone i.e. a half of a half tone). However,
quarter-flat may have been already too much used to allow using
anything else...
When I speak with musicians, I almost always say a quarter-tone

Perhaps the quarter/half thing is a confusion of terms?
If you look at flats and sharps as semi- or half-tones then a half of one of
those could be reasonably termed quarter-tones.
I've not seen a quarter flat but I have seen the term quarter tone

- all the commands like @seealso use a @subsubheading, but they
appear as the same size as the @unnumberedsubsubsec headings (as
you would expect). Fix somehow.
I had noticed that, and wondered if adding a blank line
Well, that was humbling. I honestly thought that NR 1.1 Pitches
was almost perfect, but the comments (thank you!) from last time

with a fresh mind (aided by the comments), I found many, many
things to fix.
As always, GDP here:

No! The difference is that = modifies the pitch on the current note,
