8L 7s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 8 large steps and 7 small steps, repeating every octave. 8L 7s is a child scale of 7L 1s, expanding it by 7 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 1040 ¢ to 1050 ¢, or from 150 ¢ to 160 ¢.

This scale is the chromatic scale of opossum temperament, where the tetrad 1/1-6/5-10/7-12/7 (0¢-316¢-617¢-933¢) can be formed by by stacking the dark generator 2, 4, and 6 times above the root. 8L 7s approximates this tetrad from 0¢-300¢-600¢-900¢ to 0¢-320¢-640¢-960¢.

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.
