The [[TAMNAMS]] system is used in this article to name 5L 3s intervals and step size ratios and step ratio ranges.
== Names ==
The [[TAMNAMS]] MOS naming system (used in this article) 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 notation used in this article is LsLsLsL = JKLMNOPJ unless specified otherwise. We denote raising and lowering by a chroma (L − s) by & "amp" and @ "at". (Mnemonics: & "and" means additional pitch. @ "at" rhymes with "flat".)
