5L 7s represents the chromatic scales of [[Pythagorean tuning|Pythagorean]]/[[Schismatic family|schismic]] and [[superpyth]], the former being [[Rothenberg propriety|proper]] but the latter improper until expanded by 5 more notes, producing superpyth[17]. Such scales are characterized by having a small step ([[diatonic semitone]]) that is smaller than the [[chroma]] ([[chromatic semitone]]), the reverse of [[7L 5s]].

The two distinct harmonic entropy minima are, on the one hand, scales very close to Pythagorean such that [[64/63]] is not tempered out, such as the schismatic temperaments known as Helmholtz and Garibaldi, and on the other hand, th simpler and less accurate temperament known as [[archy]] in which 64/63 is tempered out.
