'''5L 4s''' refers to the structure of [[MOS]] scales with generators ranging from 1\5 (one degree of [[5edo]] = 240¢) to 2\9 (two degrees of [[9edo]] = 266.7¢). In the case of 9edo, L and s are the same size; in the case of 5edo, s becomes so small it disappears (and all that remains are the five equal L's).

5L 4s tunings can be divided into two major ranges:
5L 4s tunings can be divided into two major ranges:
# [[hard]]-of-[[basic]] 5L 4s, generated by semifourths flatter than 3\14 (257.14¢). This implies a diatonic fifth.  
# [[hard]]-of-[[basic]] 5L 4s, generated by semifourths flatter than 3\14 (257.14¢). This implies a diatonic fifth.
