'''7L 3s<4/1>''' refers to a non-octave [[MOS scale]] with a period of a [[4/1]] and which has 7 large and 3 small steps. These scales are in some ways similar to diatonic scales because they are generated from perfect fifths | '''7L 3s<4/1>''' refers to a non-octave [[MOS scale]] with a period of a [[4/1]] and which has 7 large and 3 small steps. These scales are in some ways similar to diatonic scales because they are generated from perfect fifths and have the [[7edo]]/[[7ed4]] 685-cent flat fifth and [[5edo]]/10ed4's 720-cent sharp fifth at the ends of the tuning spectrum. However, equalized and collapsed tunings are now swapped (equalized is 720-cent fifth and collapsed is 685-cent fifth is equalized), and the basic tuning is now the 705-cent gentle fifth from [[17edo]]/[[17ed4]] instead of 12edo's fifth. These scales are also more widely spaced than diatonic scales, comparable more to an octave-period pentatonic scale. | ||
