[[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]] (just minor 3rd, 315.6¢). | [[TAMNAMS]] suggests the name '''smitonic''' ''smy-TON-ik'' /smaɪˈtɒnɪk/ for this scale.

Being a moment-of-symmetry scale, every [[interval class]] of 4L 3s, except for the unison and octave, has two [[Interval variety|varieties]] (or sizes), whose [[Interval quality|relative qualities]] are denoted as major or minor, or augmented, perfect, and diminished for the generators. | Being a moment-of-symmetry scale, every [[interval class]] of 4L 3s, except for the unison and octave, has two [[Interval variety|varieties]] (or sizes), whose [[Interval quality|relative qualities]] are denoted as major or minor, or augmented, perfect, and diminished for the generators. | ||

For this article, note names are based on [[Diamond-mos notation|diamond-MOS notation]], where the naturals JKLMNOP are applied to the step pattern LsLsLsL and the accidentals & (pronounced "am" or "amp") and @ (pronounced "at") are used to represent sharps and flats respectively. Thus, the basic gamut for 4L 3s is the following: | |||
{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature=4L 3s}} | {{MOS gamut|Scale Signature=4L 3s}} | ||
