[[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.
[[TAMNAMS]] suggests the name '''smitonic''' ''smy-TON-ik'' /smaɪˈtɒnɪk/ for this scale. The name is derived from 'sharp minor third', since the central range for the dark generator (320¢ to 333.3¢) is significantly sharp of [[6/5]] (315.6¢).


== Notation and intervals ==
== Notation ==
{| class="wikitable"
Note names are based on [[Diamond-mos notation|diamond-MOS notation]], where the nominals JKLMNOP are applied to the step pattern LsLsLsL and the symbols & (pronounced "am" or "amp") and @ (pronounced "at") are used to represent sharps and flats.

!Step ratio
Thus, the gamut for 11edo is the following:
!Gamut
 
|-
{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature=4L 3s}}
|2:1 (11edo)
 
|{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature=4L 3s}}
The notation for intervals and scale degrees are based on [[TAMNAMS]], where names for mossteps and mosdegrees start at 0 for the unison. Ordinal names, such as mos-1st for the unison, are discouraged for non-diatonic MOS scales.

|3:1 (15edo)
|{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature=4L 3s|Step Ratio=3/1}}
|-
|3:2 (18edo)
|{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature=4L 3s|Step Ratio=3/2}}
|}

The basic tuning for 4L 3s has a large and small step size of 2 and 1 respectively, which is supported by 11edo. Raising or lowering any of the nominals by a [[chroma]] produces the following scale degrees.
