7L 5s: Difference between revisions

 

7L 5s represents the chromatic scale of [[meantone]], or meantone chromatic scale. Such scales are characterized by having a small step ([[diatonic semitone]]) that is larger than the [[chroma]] ([[chromatic semitone]]), the reverse of [[5L 7s]].

 

 

 

 

=== Modes ===

 

=== Proposed names ===

Both [[User:Eliora|Eliora]] and [[User:Ganaram inukshuk|Ganaram]] have independently proposed mode names based on names of the months. The former scheme uses mode names from the Gregorian calendar using cyclic order, starting with January assigned to the step pattern LsLsLsLLsLsL due to positioning of 31-day and 30-day months, with successive rotations assigned to successive months. The latter scheme is based on month names from the Roman calendar, starting with Mensis Martius as the brightest mode, with successive month names for each mode by descending brightness.
