Scales of this form are always [[Rothenberg propriety|proper]], because there is only one small step.

== Theory ==
=== Low harmonic entropy scales ===
There are three notable [[harmonic entropy]] minima with this [[mos]] pattern.
 
* The lowest accuracy one is [[porcupine]], in which two generators make a [[6/5]] and three make a [[4/3]]. The range of porcupine tunings is about 2\15 to 3\22.
* Less well-known and more accurate is [[greeley]], in which two generators are still 6/5 but three fall quite short of a 4/3, but the scale happens to closely approximate a lot of higher-complexity intervals like [[10/7]], [[11/7]], etc.
* Thirdly and finally, [[tempering out]] [[4000/3993|S10/S11]] so that ([[4/3]])/([[11/10]])<sup>3</sup> is tempered out results in an unusually high accuracy and efficient rank-2 temperament in the 2.3.11/5 subgroup for which interpretation as a rank-3 temperament in 2.3.5.11 (the no-7's [[11-limit]]) is natural, making [[10/9]] and [[12/11]] [[square superparticular|equidistant from 11/10]] and offering many fruitful tempering opportunities. Note therefore that [[porkypine]] can be seen as a trivial tuning of [[4000/3993|pine]] tempering out {{nowrap|[[100/99]] {{=}} S10}} and {{nowrap|[[121/120]] {{=}} S11}}.

7L 1s, named pine in TAMNAMS, is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 7 large steps and 1 small step, repeating every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 150 ¢ to 171.4 ¢, or from 1028.6 ¢ to 1050 ¢. Scales of this form are always proper because there is only one small step.

Name

TAMNAMS suggests the temperament-agnostic name pine as the name of 7L 1s. The name is an abstraction of porcupine temperament.

Proposed names

Mode names are from Porcupine temperament modal harmony. Descriptive mode names are based on using 1 – 4 – 7, i.e. 3+3 triads as a basis for harmony.

Theory

Low harmonic entropy scales

There are three notable harmonic entropy minima with this mos pattern.

  • The lowest accuracy one is porcupine, in which two generators make a 6/5 and three make a 4/3. The range of porcupine tunings is about 2\15 to 3\22.
  • Less well-known and more accurate is greeley, in which two generators are still 6/5 but three fall quite short of a 4/3, but the scale happens to closely approximate a lot of higher-complexity intervals like 10/7, 11/7, etc.
  • Thirdly and finally, tempering out S10/S11 so that (4/3)/(11/10)3 is tempered out results in an unusually high accuracy and efficient rank-2 temperament in the 2.3.11/5 subgroup for which interpretation as a rank-3 temperament in 2.3.5.11 (the no-7's 11-limit) is natural, making 10/9 and 12/11 equidistant from 11/10 and offering many fruitful tempering opportunities. Note therefore that porkypine can be seen as a trivial tuning of pine tempering out 100/99 = S10 and 121/120 = S11.
