4L 3s, named smitonic in TAMNAMS, is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 4 large steps and 3 small steps, repeating every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 857.1 ¢ to 900 ¢, or from 300 ¢ to 342.9 ¢.
4L 3s can be though of as a warped diatonic scale, where one large step of diatonic (5L 2s) is replaced with a small step.
TAMNAMS suggests the name smitonicsmy-TON-ik /smaɪˈtɒnɪk/ for this scale. The name is derived from 'sharp minor third', since the central range for the dark generator (320¢ to 333.3¢) is significantly sharp of 6/5 (315.6¢).
Notation
Note names are based on diamond-MOS notation, where the nominals JKLMNOP are applied to the step pattern LsLsLsL and the symbols & (pronounced "am" or "amp") and @ (pronounced "at") are used to represent sharps and flats respectively. Thus, the gamut for 4L 3s:
J, J&/K@, K, L, L&/M@, M, N, N&/O@, O, P, P&/J@, J
Names for intervals and scale degrees are based on TAMNAMS, where names for mossteps and mosdegrees start at 0 for the unison. Ordinal names, such as mos-1st for the unison, are discouraged for non-diatonic MOS scales.
Tunings
The basic tuning for 4L 3s has a large and small step size of 2 and 1 respectively, which is supported by 11edo. Raising or lowering any of the nominals by a chroma produces the following scale degrees.
