7L 2s, named armotonic in TAMNAMS, is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 7 large steps and 2 small steps, repeating every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 666.7 ¢ to 685.7 ¢, or from 514.3 ¢ to 533.3 ¢.

Name

The TAMNAMS name for this pattern is superdiatonic, in reference to the diatonic mos (5L 2s) having two additional large steps added, or armotonic, in reference to Armodue theory.

Temperaments

If you're looking for highly accurate scales (that is, ones that approximate JI closely), there are much better scale patterns to look at. However, if your harmonic entropy is coarse enough (that is, if 678 cents is an acceptable '3/2' to you), then mavila is an important harmonic entropy minimum here. So a general name for this MOS pattern could be "Mavila Superdiatonic" or simply 'Superdiatonic'.

These scales are strongly associated with the Armodue project/system applied to septimal mavila and Hornbostel temperaments.

Intervals

Note: In TAMNAMS, a k-step interval class in superdiatonic may be called a "k-step", "k-mosstep", or "k-armstep". TAMNAMS discourages 1-indexed terms such as "mos(k+1)th" for non-diatonic mosses.
