#### 6.1.4 Micro tones

Half-flats and half-sharps are formed by adding `-eh` and `-ih`; the following is a series of Cs with increasing pitches

>          \set Staff.extraNatural = ##f
>          ceseh ceh cih cisih

Micro tones are also exported to the MIDI file.

##### Bugs

There are no generally accepted standards for denoting three quarter flats, so LilyPond's symbol does not conform to any standard.
