'''4L 3s''' refers to | '''4L 3s''' refers to an [[MOS]] scale with four large steps and three small steps, one mode of which is '''LLsLsLs'''. It is generated by any interval between 1\4edo (one degree of [[4edo]], or 300¢) and 2\7edo (two degrees of [[7edo]], or approx. 342.857¢). | ||
4L 3s can be thought of as a [Warped diatonic scale|warped diatonic scale], because it has one large step of diatonic (5L 2s, LLsLLLs) replaced with a small step (yielding LLsLsLs). | |||

The [[TAMNAMS]] MOS naming system uses the name '''smitonic''' ''smy-TON-ik'' /smaɪˈtɒnɪk/ for this pattern. The name is derived from 'sharp minor third', since the central range of the spectrum, 4\15 = 320¢ to 7\18 = 333.33¢, has minor third generators that are significantly sharp of 6/5. | The [[TAMNAMS]] MOS naming system uses the name '''smitonic''' ''smy-TON-ik'' /smaɪˈtɒnɪk/ for this pattern.
