Basics
15ED4 is a macrotonal tuning system that divides the double-octave (4/1) into 15 equally spaced pitches each about 160 cents apart. It can be viewed as a subset of 15 EDO that repeats at two octaves rather than one. It has a big xen appeal as it is nonoctave but at the same time contains the double octave allowing for a sort of best of both worlds approach. 15ED4 doesn't do Just Intonation well for the most part but it does represent 7/4 and 11/8 rather well.
MOS Scales
There are a variety of Mos scales available. William Lynch considers the symmetrical MOS: LsLsLsLs to be the most consonant scale in 15ED4. There is also a LsLLsLLLs scale which is more spacey sounding than the symmetrical MOS. The symmetrical MOS can be harmonized with c
