4L 3s can be thought of as a [[Warped diatonic|warped diatonic scale]], because it has one large step of diatonic (5L 2s, LLsLLLs) replaced with a small step (yielding LLsLsLs).
4L 3s can be thought of as a [[Warped diatonic|warped diatonic scale]], because it has one large step of diatonic (5L 2s, LLsLLLs) replaced with a small step (yielding LLsLsLs).
4L 3s has several temperament interpretations:
# With generator size between 5\18 (333.3c) and 11\39 (338.5c): [[Sixix]], corresponding to a L/s ratio between 3/2 and 6/5.
# With generator size between 4\15 (320.0c) and 3\11 (327.3c): [[Orgone]], corresponding to a L/s ratio between 3 and 2.
# With generator size between 5\19 (315.8c) and 4\15 (320.0c): [[Kleismic]], corresponding to a L/s ratio between 4 and 3.
There are also other temperaments in the 4L 3s range, particularly [[amity]] and [[myna]], but 7 notes in the generator chain are not enough to contain the most concordant chords in these temperaments; you would need to use a [[MODMOS]] or use a larger MOS gamut.
