{{MOS intro}}
One of the [[harmonic entropy]] minimums in this range is [[Kleismic family|Kleismic/Hanson]].


'''4L 7s''' refers to the structure of [[MOS scale]]s with generators ranging from 1\4edo (one degree of 4edo, 300¢) to 3\11edo (three degrees of 11edo, 327.{{overline|27}}¢), representing approximate diatonic minor thirds ([[6/5]]). One of the [[harmonic entropy]] minimums in this range is [[Kleismic family|Kleismic/Hanson]].
== Name ==
TAMNAMS formerly used the name ''kleistonic'' for the name of this scale (prefix ''klei-''). Other names include '''p-chro smitonic''' or '''smipechromic'''.


4L 7s has a heptatonic subset, which is the [[hard]] end of the spectrum of the [[smitonic]] scale (4L 3s).
== Scale properties ==
{{TAMNAMS use}}


A proposed name for this scale is '''kleistonic''', based on an extension of [[TAMNAMS]] to bigger MOS scales.
=== Intervals ===
{{MOS intervals}}


== Notation ==
=== Generator chain ===
The notation used in this article is LssLsLssLss = АВГДЕЅЗИѲІѦА, based on old Cyrillic numerals 1-10, and the addition of the small yus (Ѧ) for 11 (old "ya" symbolically representing І҃А҃=11). A titlo can be optionally used as a numeric sign (А҃), depending on font rendering, clarity, and style. Chromas are represented by regular sharps and flats.

Thus the 15edo gamut is as follows: '''А''' А#/Вb '''В Г Д''' Д#/Еb '''Е Ѕ''' Ѕ#/Зb '''З И Ѳ''' Ѳ#/Іb '''І Ѧ А'''

==== Letter names ====
== Tuning ranges==
The letters can be named in English as such: Az, Vede, Glagol, Dobro, Yest, Dzelo, Zemlya, Izhe, Thita, I (Ee), Yas. They can also be named as numbers 1-11.

=== Soft range ===
=== Soft range ===
The soft range for tunings of kleistonic encompasses parasoft and hyposoft tunings. This implies step ratios smaller than 2/1, meaning a generator sharper than 4\15 = 320¢.
The soft range for tunings of 4L 7s encompasses parasoft and hyposoft tunings. This implies step ratios smaller than 2/1, meaning a generator sharper than {{nowrap|4\15 {{=}} 320{{c}}}}.


This is the range associated with extensions of [[Orgone|Orgone[7]]]. The small step is recognizable as a near diatonic semitone, while the large step is in the ambiguous area of neutral seconds.

The minor third is at its purest here, but the resulting scales tend to approximate intervals that employ a much higher limit harmony, especially in the case of the superhard 23edo. However, the large step is recognizable as a regular diatonic whole step, approximating both 10/9 and 9/8, while the small step is a slightly sharp of a quarter tone.

The temperament known as Myna (a pun on "minor third") resides here, as this is the range where 10 generators make a just diatonic fifth (3/2), two octaves above.

These scales are stacked with simple intervals, but are melodically difficult due to the extreme step size disparity, where the small step is generally flat of a quarter tone.

4L 7s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 4 large steps and 7 small steps, repeating every octave. 4L 7s is a child scale of 4L 3s, expanding it by 4 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 872.7 ¢ to 900 ¢, or from 300 ¢ to 327.3 ¢. One of the harmonic entropy minimums in this range is Kleismic/Hanson.

Name

TAMNAMS formerly used the name kleistonic for the name of this scale (prefix klei-). Other names include p-chro smitonic or smipechromic.

Scale properties

This article uses TAMNAMS conventions for the names of this scale's intervals and scale degrees. The use of 1-indexed ordinal names is reserved for interval regions.

Tuning ranges

Soft range

The soft range for tunings of 4L 7s encompasses parasoft and hyposoft tunings. This implies step ratios smaller than 2/1, meaning a generator sharper than 4\15 = 320 ¢.

This is the range associated with extensions of Orgone[7]. The small step is recognizable as a near diatonic semitone, while the large step is in the ambiguous area of neutral seconds.

Soft edos include 15edo and 26edo. The sizes of the generator, large step and small step of 4L 7s are as follows in various soft tunings:

15edo (basic) 26edo (soft) Some JI approximations
generator (g) 4\15, 320.00 7\26, 323.08 77/64, 6/5
L (octave - 3g) 2\15, 160.00 3\26, 138.46 12/11, 13/12
s (4g - octave) 1\15, 80.00 2\19, 92.31 21/20, 22/21, 20/19

Hypohard

Hypohard tunings of 4L 7s have step ratios between 2/1 and 3/1, implying a generator sharper than 5\19 = 315.79 ¢ and flatter than 4\15 = 320 ¢.

This range represents one of the harmonic entropy minimums, where 6 generators make a just diatonic fifth (3/2), an octave above. This is the range associated with the eponymous Kleismic (aka Hanson) temperament and its extensions.

Hypohard edos include 15edo, 19edo, and 34edo. The sizes of the generator, large step and small step of 4L 7s are as follows in various hypohard tunings:

15edo (basic) 19edo (hard) 34edo (semihard) Some JI approximations
generator (g) 4\15, 320.00 5\19, 315.79 9\34, 317.65 6/5
L (octave − 3g) 2\15, 160.00 3\19, 189.47 5\34, 176.47 10/9, 11/10 (in 15edo)
s (4g − octave) 1\15, 80.00 1\19, 63.16 2\34, 70.59 25/24, 26/25 (in better kleismic tunings)

Parahard

Parahard tunings of 4L 7s have step ratios between 3/1 and 4/1, implying a generator sharper than 6\23 = 313.04¢ and flatter than 5\19 = 315.79¢.

The minor third is at its purest here, but the resulting scales tend to approximate intervals that employ a much higher limit harmony, especially in the case of the superhard 23edo. However, the large step is recognizable as a regular diatonic whole step, approximating both 10/9 and 9/8, while the small step is a slightly sharp of a quarter tone.

Parahard edos include 19edo, 23edo, and 42edo. The sizes of the generator, large step and small step of 4L 7s are as follows in various parahard tunings:

19edo (hard) 23edo (superhard) 42edo (parahard) Some JI approximations
generator (g) 5\19, 315.79 6\23, 313.04 11\42, 314.29 6/5
L (octave − 3g) 3\19, 189.47 4\23, 208.70 7\42, 200.00 10/9, 9/8
s (4g − octave) 1\19, 63.16 1\23, 52.17 2\42, 57.14 28/27, 33/32

Hyperhard

Hyperhard tunings of 4L 7s have step ratios between 4/1 and 6/1, implying a generator sharper than 8\31 = 309.68¢ and flatter than 6\23 = 313.04¢.

The temperament known as Myna (a pun on "minor third") resides here, as this is the range where 10 generators make a just diatonic fifth (3/2), two octaves above. These scales are stacked with simple intervals, but are melodically difficult due to the extreme step size disparity, where the small step is generally flat of a quarter tone.

Hyperhard edos include 23edo, 31edo, and 27edo. The sizes of the generator, large step and small step of 4L 7s are as follows in various hyperhard tunings:

23edo (superhard) 31edo (extrahard) 27edo (pentahard) Some JI approximations
generator (g) 6\23, 313.04 8\31, 309.68 7\27, 311.11 6/5
L (octave − 3g) 4\23, 208.70 6\31, 232.26 5\27, 222.22 8/7, 9/8
s (4g − octave) 1\23, 52.17 1\31, 38.71 1\27, 44.44 36/35, 45/44
