'''7L 2s''', '''mavila''' (/ˈmɑːvɪlə/ or /ˈmævɪlə/ ''MA(H)-vil-ə''), or '''superdiatonic''' refers to the structure of octave-equivalent [[MOS]] scales with generators ranging from 4\7 (four degrees of [[7edo]] = 685.71¢) to 5\9 (five degrees of [[9edo]] = 666.67¢) and its associated harmonic framework. In the case of 9edo, L and s are the same size; in the case of 7edo, s becomes so small it disappears (and all that remains are the seven equal L's). Mavila was first discovered by [[Erv Wilson]] after studying the tuning of the "Timbila" music of the Chopi tribe in Mozambique. It is also closely related to the "pelog" scale in Indonesian and Balinese Gamelan music. | '''7L 2s''', '''mavila''' (/ˈmɑːvɪlə/ or /ˈmævɪlə/ ''MA(H)-vil-ə''), or '''superdiatonic''' refers to the structure of octave-equivalent [[MOS]] scales with generators ranging from 4\7 (four degrees of [[7edo]] = 685.71¢) to 5\9 (five degrees of [[9edo]] = 666.67¢) and its associated harmonic framework.
