So we can take advantage of the fact that two small steps in 22edo's Orwell[9] (2\22) make one "larger" step (4\22). If 9 tones is a few too many, we can turn some 2+2's into 4's. So for instance, the first example above goes:

=Names for steps=
 
This is getting silly! We need better names.....
 
So, as proposed on the page for [[MODMOS Scales]], we could call L-s a "chroma" and abbreviate it "c". That's a good start.
 
We have another step that's s-c, or s-(L-s) = s-L+s = 2s-L. In Porcupine[7] in 22edo, that's:
s-c = 3\22-1\22 = 2\22
or
2s-L = 2(3\22)-4\22 = 6\22-4\22 = 2\22.
Some kind of diminished step?
 
And we have another step that's L+c, or L+(L-s) = 2L-s. In Porcupine[7] in 22edo, that's:
L+c = 4\22+1\22 = 5\22
or
2L-s = 2(4\22)-3\22 = 8\22-3\22 = 5\22.
Some kind of augmented step?
 
Mike Battaglia proposes (at least in the case of Porcupine) "d" for s-c and "A" for L+c....</pre></div>
