8L 7s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 8 large steps and 7 small steps, repeating every octave. 8L 7s is a child scale of 7L 1s, expanding it by 7 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 1040 ¢ to 1050 ¢, or from 150 ¢ to 160 ¢.

This scale is the chromatic scale of opossum temperament, where the tetrad 1/1-6/5-10/7-12/7 (0 ¢ – 316 ¢ – 617 ¢ – 933 ¢) can be formed by by stacking the dark generator 2, 4, and 6 times above the root. 8L 7s approximates this tetrad from 0 – 300 ¢ – 600 ¢ – 900 ¢ to 0 ¢ – 320 ¢ – 640 ¢ – 960 ¢.
