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.
Name
TAMNAMS suggests the name smitonic smy-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 (just minor 3rd, 315.6¢).
Intervals
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.
Being a moment-of-symmetry scale, every interval class of 4L 3s, except for the unison and octave, has two varieties (or sizes), whose relative qualities are denoted as major or minor, or augmented, perfect, and diminished for the generators.
Interval class | Large variety | Small variety | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Size | Quality | Size | Quality | |
0-mosstep (unison) | 0 | Perfect | 0 | Perfect |
1-mosstep | L | Major | s | Minor |
2-mosstep | L+s | Augmented | 2L | Perfect |
3-mosstep | L + 2s | Major | 2L + s | Minor |
4-mosstep | 2L + 2s | Perfect | 3L + 1s | Minor |
5-mosstep | 2L + 3s | Perfect | 3L + 2s | Diminished |
6-mosstep | 2L + 3s | Major | 3L + 3s | Minor |
7-mosstep (octave) | 4L + 3s | Perfect | 4L + 3s | Perfect |
Notation
Note names for this article are based on diamond-MOS notation, where the naturals JKLMNOP are applied to the step pattern LsLsLsL and the accidentals & (pronounced "am" or "amp") and @ (pronounced "at") are used to represent sharps and flats respectively. Thus, the basic gamut for 4L 3s is the following:
J, J&/K@, K, L, L&/M@, M, N, N&/O@, O, P, P&/J@, J

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 certain nominals by a chroma produces the following scale degrees.
