'''7L 3s<4/1>''' (sometimes called '''diaquadic''') refers to a non-octave [[MOS scale]] family with a period of a [[4/1]] and which has 7 large and 3 small steps. These scales are in some ways a double octave clone of [[5L 2s|diatonic scale]]s because they are generated from perfect fifths and have the [[7edo]]/[[7ed4]] 685-cent flat fifth and [[5edo]]/10ed4's 720-cent sharp fifth at the ends of the tuning spectrum. However, ~3/2 is now the chroma-negative rather than chroma-positive generator, equalized and collapsed tunings are now swapped (equalized is 720-cent fifth and collapsed is 685-cent fifth), and the basic tuning is now the 705-cent gentle fifth from [[17edo]]/[[17ed4]] instead of 12edo's fifth. Diaquadic scales are also more widely spaced than diatonic scales, closer melodically to an octave-period pentatonic scale.

{{MOS tuning spectrum

== Temperaments ==
There are two major rank-2 temperament interpretations of diaquadic, [[meanquad]] and [[quarchy]], corresponding to double-octave clones of [[meantone]] and [[archy]].
