:''This article assumes [[TAMNAMS]] for naming step ratios, intervals, and scale degrees, and [[Diamond-mos notation|diamond-MOS notation]] for note names.''
=== Intervals and degrees===
Names for this scale's intervals (mossteps) and scale degrees (mosdegrees) are based on the number of large and small steps from the root, starting at 0 (0-mosstep and 0-mosdegree) for the unison, per TAMNAMS. 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]] – large and small – whose [[Interval quality|relative qualities]] are denoted as major or minor, or augmented, perfect, and diminished for the generators.

===Subset and superset scales===
4L 3s has a parent scale of [[3L 1s]], a tetratonic scale, meaning 1L 3s is a subset. 4L 3s also has two child scales, which are supersets of 4L 3s:
*[[7L 4s]], a smitonic chromatic scale produced using soft-of-basic step ratios.
*[[4L 7s]], a smitonic chromatic scale produced using hard-of-basic step ratios.
11edo, the equalized form of both 7L 4s and 4L 7s, is also a superset of 4L 3s.
