The intervals of the symmetric LsLsLsL mode (harmonics in bold):

Degree (1 = tonic) Cents Note name on C (22edo notation) Approximate ratios #Gens up
1 0 C 1/1 0
2 218.18 D 8/7, 9/8, 17/15 -3
3 327.27 Eb^ 6/5, 11/9, 17/14 +1
4 545.45 F^ 11/8, 15/11 -2
5 654.54 Gv 16/11, 22/15 +2
6 872.72 Av 5/3, 18/11, 28/17 -1
7 981.81 Bb 7/4, 16/9, 30/17 +3

Assuming the symmetric 2121212 mode, the 1-4-7 chord is:

  • 8:11:14 on degrees 1 and 6
  • 8:11:15 on degrees 3, 5, and 7
  • 17:22:30 or 25:32:44 on degrees 2 and 4


Modal harmony

The seven modes are, from brightest to darkest:

  • 2212121
  • 2122121
  • 2121221
  • 2121212
  • 1221212
  • 1212212
  • 1212122

Modally, the least to most "entropic" scale degrees (i.e. the modes that have this interval as major and minor respectively are a 50-50 split) are in order:

  • 2 and 7 (equally)
  • 4 and 5 (equally)
  • 3 and 6 (equally)
