4L 17s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 4 large steps and 17 small steps, repeating every octave. 4L 17s is a great-grandchild scale of 4L 5s, expanding it by 12 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 285.7 ¢ to 300 ¢, or from 900 ¢ to 914.3 ¢.

Scale tree

Template: Scale tree is deprecated. Please use Template: MOS tuning spectrum instead. Details: Use of a single Comments parameter has become unmaintainable. Existing scale trees should be migrated to the new template, where comments are entered using a step ratio p/q as a parameter: {{MOS tuning spectrum | 3/2 = Example comment | 4/3 = Another example comment }} The parameters tuning and depth have been replaced with Scale Signature and Depth, respectively.
