~~'''5L 7s'''~~ is the MOS pattern of the [[Pythagorean tuning|Pythagorean]]/[[Schismatic family|schismic]] chromatic scale, and also the [[superpyth]] chromatic scale. In contrast to the [[7L 5s|meantone chromatic scale]], in which the diatonic semitone is larger than the chromatic semitone, here the reverse is true: the diatonic semitone is smaller than the chromatic semitone, so the [[5L 2s|diatonic scale]] subset is actually [[Rothenberg propriety|improper]].

It is the MOS pattern of the [[Pythagorean tuning|Pythagorean]]/[[Schismatic family|schismic]] chromatic scale, and also the [[superpyth]] chromatic scale. In contrast to the [[7L 5s|meantone chromatic scale]], in which the diatonic semitone is larger than the chromatic semitone, here the reverse is true: the diatonic semitone is smaller than the chromatic semitone, so the [[5L 2s|diatonic scale]] subset is actually [[Rothenberg propriety|improper]].

The two distinct harmonic entropy minima with this MOS pattern are, on the one hand, scales very close to Pythagorean such that [[64/63]] is not tempered out, such as the schismatic temperaments known as Helmholtz and Garibaldi, and on the other hand, the much simpler and less accurate scale known as superpyth in which 64/63 is tempered out.
