-'''7L 5s''' is the MOS pattern of the [[meantone]] chromatic scale, which is the only notable harmonic entropy minimum in this range of possible scales. In meantone, "diatonic" semitones (~16/15), such as appear in the [[5L 2s|diatonic scale]], for example B-C, are larger than "chromatic" semitones (~25/24), the intervals by which flats and sharps alter pitches.
+Temperaments that support this scale include those related to [[meantone]], with the meantone chromatic scale in particular being [[Rothenberg propriety|proper]]. Scales of this form are characterized by having a small step (or [[diatonic semitone]], in a meantone context) that is larger than the [[chroma]] (or [[chromatic semitone]], in a meantone context).
-The meantone chromatic scale with generator between 5\12 (500 cents) and 8\19 (505.263 cents) is [[Rothenberg propriety|proper]].
