'''3L 2s<span class="Unicode">⟨</span>3/2<span class="Unicode">⟩</span>''' (sometimes called '''uranian'''), is a fifth-repeating MOS scale. The notation "<span class="Unicode">⟨</span>3/2<span class="Unicode">⟩</span>" means the period of the MOS is 3/2, disambiguating it from octave-repeating [[3L 2s]]. The name of the period interval is called the '''sesquitave''' (by analogy to the [[tritave]]). It is a [[Warped diatonic|warped diatonic scale]] because it has one extra small step compared to the 3/2-equivalent version of diatonic ([[3L 1s (3/2-equivalent)|3L 1s<span class="Unicode">⟨</span>3/2<span class="Unicode">⟩</span>]]): for example, the Ionian diatonic fifth LLsL can be distorted to the Oberonan mode LsLLs. | |||
The generator range is 234 to 280.8 cents, placing it in between the [[9/8|diatonic major second]] and the [[6/5|diatonic minor third]], usually representing a subminor third of some type (like [[7/6]]). The bright (chroma-positive) generator is, however, its fifth complement (468 to 421.2 cents). | |||

'''3L 2s<3/2>''' (sometimes called '''uranian'''), is a fifth-repeating MOS scale. The notation "<3/2>" means the period of the MOS is 3/2, disambiguating it from octave-repeating [[3L 2s]]. | |||
Because uranian is a fifth-repeating scale, each tone has a 3/2 perfect fifth above it. The scale has three major chords and two minor chords, all voiced so that the third of the triad is an octave higher, a tenth. Uranian also has two harmonic 7th chords. | Because uranian is a fifth-repeating scale, each tone has a 3/2 perfect fifth above it.

[[ | [[Basic]] uranian is in [[8edf]], which is a very good fifth-based equal tuning similar to [[88cET]]. | ||
==Notation== | |||
There are 2 main ways to notate the uranian scale. One method uses a simple sesquitave (fifth) repeating notation consisting of 5 naturals (A-E). Given that 1-7/4-5/2 is fifth-equivalent to a tone cluster of 1-10/9-7/6, it may be more convenient to notate uranian scales as repeating at the double sesquitave (major ninth), however it does make navigating the [[Generator|genchain]] harder. This way, 7/4 is its own pitch class, distinct from 7/6. Notating this way produces a major ninth which is the Aeolian mode of Annapolis[6L 4s]. Since there are exactly 10 naturals in double sesquitave notation, Greek numerals 1-10 may be used. | |||

The most basic rank-2 temperament interpretation of uranian is semiwolf, which has 4:7:10 chords spelled <code>root-(p+1g)-(3p-2g)</code> (p = 3/2, g = the approximate 7/6). The name "semiwolf" comes from two [[7/6]] generators approximating a [[27/20]] wolf fourth. | The most basic rank-2 temperament interpretation of uranian is '''semiwolf''', which has 4:7:10 chords spelled <code>root-(p+1g)-(3p-2g)</code> (p = 3/2, g = the approximate 7/6). The name "semiwolf" comes from two [[7/6]] generators approximating a [[27/20]] wolf fourth. This is further extended to the 11-limit in two interpretations: '''semilupine''' where 2 major 2-mossteps (LL) equal 11/9, and '''hemilycan''' where 1 major and 2 minor 2-mossteps (sLs) equal 11/9. Basic 8edf fits both extensions. | ||

sLsLL
3L 2s⟨3/2⟩ (sometimes called uranian), is a fifth-repeating MOS scale. The notation "⟨3/2⟩" means the period of the MOS is 3/2, disambiguating it from octave-repeating 3L 2s. The name of the period interval is called the sesquitave (by analogy to the tritave). It is a warped diatonic scale because it has one extra small step compared to the 3/2-equivalent version of diatonic (3L 1s⟨3/2⟩): for example, the Ionian diatonic fifth LLsL can be distorted to the Oberonan mode LsLLs.
The generator range is 234 to 280.8 cents, placing it in between the diatonic major second and the diatonic minor third, usually representing a subminor third of some type (like 7/6). The bright (chroma-positive) generator is, however, its fifth complement (468 to 421.2 cents).
Because uranian is a fifth-repeating scale, each tone has a 3/2 perfect fifth above it. The scale has three major chords and two minor chords, all voiced so that the third of the triad is an octave higher, a tenth. Uranian also has two harmonic 7th chords.
Basic uranian is in 8edf, which is a very good fifth-based equal tuning similar to 88cET.
Notation
There are 2 main ways to notate the uranian scale. One method uses a simple sesquitave (fifth) repeating notation consisting of 5 naturals (A-E). Given that 1-7/4-5/2 is fifth-equivalent to a tone cluster of 1-10/9-7/6, it may be more convenient to notate uranian scales as repeating at the double sesquitave (major ninth), however it does make navigating the genchain harder. This way, 7/4 is its own pitch class, distinct from 7/6. Notating this way produces a major ninth which is the Aeolian mode of Annapolis[6L 4s]. Since there are exactly 10 naturals in double sesquitave notation, Greek numerals 1-10 may be used.

Modes
The mode names are based on the major satellites of Uranus, in order of size:

Temperaments
The most basic rank-2 temperament interpretation of uranian is semiwolf, which has 4:7:10 chords spelled root-(p+1g)-(3p-2g)
(p = 3/2, g = the approximate 7/6). The name "semiwolf" comes from two 7/6 generators approximating a 27/20 wolf fourth. This is further extended to the 11-limit in two interpretations: semilupine where 2 major 2-mossteps (LL) equal 11/9, and hemilycan where 1 major and 2 minor 2-mossteps (sLs) equal 11/9. Basic 8edf fits both extensions.
