4L 3s: Difference between revisions

Line 12:

4L 3s can be seen as a [[Warped diatonic|warped diatonic scale]], where one large step of diatonic ([[5L 2s]]) is replaced with a small step.

== Name==

[[TAMNAMS~~]] suggests the temperament-agnostic~~ 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]] (just minor 3rd, 315.6¢).

== Notation==

:''This article assumes [[TAMNAMS]] for naming step ratios, intervals, and scale degrees, and [[Diamond-mos notation|diamond-MOS notation]] for note names.''

Line 20:

Being a moment-of-symmetry scale, every [[interval class]] of 4L 3s, except for the unison and octave, has two [[Interval variety|varieties]] – large and small – whose [[Interval quality|relative qualities]] are denoted as major or minor, or augmented, perfect, and diminished for the generators.

~~===Note names===~~

For this article, note names are based on 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:
