 == Name ==
-[[TAMNAMS]] suggests the name '''smitonic''' ''smy-TON-ik'' /smaɪˈtɒnɪk/ for this scale. The name is derived from 'sharp minor third', since the central range for the dark generator (320¢ to 333.3¢) is significantly sharp of [[6/5]] (315.6¢).

+== Intervals ==
+Names for intervals and scale degrees are based on [[TAMNAMS]], where names for mossteps and mosdegrees start at 0 for the unison. Ordinal names, such as mos-1st for the unison, are discouraged for non-diatonic MOS scales.
+Being a moment-of-symmetry scale, every [[interval class]] of 4L 3s, except for the unison and octave, has two [[Interval variety|varieties]] (or sizes), whose [[Interval quality|relative qualities]] are denoted as major or minor, or augmented, perfect, and diminished for the generators.

 == Notation ==
-Note names are based on [[Diamond-mos notation|diamond-MOS notation]], where the nominals JKLMNOP are applied to the step pattern LsLsLsL and the symbols & (pronounced "am" or "amp") and @ (pronounced "at") are used to represent sharps and flats respectively. Thus, the gamut for 4L 3s:
+Note names for this article are based on [[Diamond-mos notation|diamond-MOS notation]], where the naturals JKLMNOP are applied to the step pattern LsLsLsL and the accidentals & (pronounced "am" or "amp") and @ (pronounced "at") are used to represent sharps and flats respectively. Thus, the basic gamut for 4L 3s is the following:

 == Tunings ==
-The basic tuning for 4L 3s has a large and small step size of 2 and 1 respectively, which is supported by 11edo. Raising or lowering any of the nominals by a [[chroma]] produces the following scale degrees.
