== Notation ==
4L 3s can be though of as a [[Warped diatonic|warped diatonic scale]], where one large step of diatonic (5L 2s) is replaced with a small step.
 
== Name ==
[[TAMNAMS]] suggests the name '''smitonic''' ''smy-TON-ik'' /smaɪˈtɒnɪk/ for this scale. The name is derived from 'sharp minor third', since the central range of the spectrum, 4\15 = 320¢ to 7\18 = 333.33¢, has minor third generators that are significantly sharp of 6/5.

=== '''Basic tuning''' ===
The basic tuning for 4L 3s has large steps that are 2 edosteps and small steps that are 1 edostep, which is supported by 11edo. Raising or lowering any of the nominals by a [[chroma]] produces the following scale degrees.
