7L 8s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 7 large steps and 8 small steps, repeating every octave. 7L 8s is a child scale of 7L 1s, expanding it by 7 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 160 ¢ to 171.4 ¢, or from 1028.6 ¢ to 1040 ¢. 7L 8s refers to a Moment of Symmetry scale with 7 large steps and 8 small steps. One especially notable temperament that falls into this MOS pattern is porcupine, of the porcupine family.
