5L 7s represents the chromatic scales of [[Pythagorean tuning|Pythagorean]]/[[schismic]] and [[superpyth]], the former being [[Rothenberg propriety|proper]] but the latter improper until expanded by 5 more notes, producing Superpyth[17]. Such scales are characterized by having a small step ([[diatonic semitone]]) that is smaller than the [[chroma]] ([[chromatic semitone]]), the reverse of [[7L 5s]].
5L 7s represents the chromatic scales of [[Pythagorean tuning|Pythagorean]]/[[schismic]] and [[superpyth]], the former being [[Rothenberg propriety|proper]] but the latter improper until expanded by 5 more notes, producing Superpyth[17]. Such scales are characterized by having a small step ([[diatonic semitone]]) that is smaller than the [[chroma]] ([[chromatic semitone]]), the reverse of [[7L 5s]]. The two distinct harmonic entropy minima for this scale correspond to schismic and superpyth.
 
The two distinct harmonic entropy minima are, on the one hand, scales very close to Pythagorean tuning or the schismatic temperament, and on the other hand, the simpler and less accurate temperament known as superpyth in which 64/63 is tempered out.
