4L 12s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 4 large steps and 12 small steps, with a period of 1 large step and 3 small steps that repeats every 300.0 ¢, or 4 times every octave. 4L 12s is a grandchild scale of 4L 4s, expanding it by 8 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 225 ¢ to 300 ¢, or from 0 ¢ to 75 ¢.
