7L 5s: Difference between revisions

~~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]]) that is larger than the [[chroma]] (or [[chromatic semitone]]).

7L 5s represents the chromatic scale of [[meantone]], or meantone chromatic scale. Such scales are characterized by having a small step ([[diatonic semitone]]) that is larger than the [[chroma]] ([[chromatic semitone]]), the reverse of [[5L 7s]].

Meantone is the only notable harmonic entropy minimum.

== Modes ==

Both [[User:Eliora|Eliora]] and [[User:Ganaram inukshuk|Ganaram]] have independently proposed mode names based on names of the months. The latter scheme uses mode names from the Gregorian calendar, starting with January assigned to the step pattern LsLsLsLLsLsL, with successive rotations assigned to successive months. The latter scheme is based on month names from the Roman calendar, starting with Mensis Martius as the brightest mode, with successive month names for each mode by descending brightness.
