Original Wikitext content:

=3L 4s - "mosh"= 

MOS scales of this form are built from a generator that falls between 1\3 (one degree of [[3edo]] - 400 cents) and 2\7 (two degrees of [[7edo]] - 343 cents.

It has the form s L s L s L s and its various "modes" (with nicknames coined by [[Andrew Heathwaite]]) are:

|| s L s L s L s || bish ||
|| L s L s L s s || dril ||
|| s L s L s s L || fish ||
|| L s L s s L s || gil ||
|| s L s s L s L || jwl ||
|| L s s L s L s || kleeth ||
|| s s L s L s L || led ||
The two notable harmonic entropy minima with this pattern are neutral third scales ("dicot" / "hemififth" / "mohajira") where two generators make a 3/2, and [[Magic family|magic]], where the generator is a 5/4 but five of them make a 3/1.

3\10 on this chart represents a dividing line between "neutral third scales" on the bottom (eg. [[17edo neutral scale]]), and something else I don't have a name for yet on the top, with [[10edo]] standing in between. (What do you call this region, dear reader?) Of course, magic is in the top half, but it's a pretty specific scale and doesn't describe the whole range. MOS-wise, the neutral third scales, after three more generations, make MOS [[7L 3s]] ("unfair mosh"); the other scales make MOS [[3L 7s]] ("fair mosh").

In "neutral third scale territory," the generators are all "neutral thirds," and two of them make an approximation of the "perfect fifth." Additionally, the L of the scale is somewhere around a "whole tone" and the s of the scale is somewhere around a "neutral tone".

In the as-yet unnamed northern territory, the generators are major thirds (including some very flat ones), and two generators are definitely sharp of a perfect fifth. L ranges from a "supermajor second" to a "major third" and s is a "semitone" or smaller.

3\10 on this chart represents a dividing line between &quot;neutral third scales&quot; on the bottom (eg. <a class="wiki_link" href="/17edo%20neutral%20scale">17edo neutral scale</a>), and something else I don't have a name for yet on the top, with <a class="wiki_link" href="/10edo">10edo</a> standing in between. (What do you call this region, dear reader?) Of course, magic is in the top half, but it's a pretty specific scale and doesn't describe the whole range. MOS-wise, the neutral third scales, after three more generations, make MOS <a class="wiki_link" href="/7L%203s">7L 3s</a> (&quot;unfair mosh&quot;); the other scales make MOS <a class="wiki_link" href="/3L%207s">3L 7s</a> (&quot;fair mosh&quot;).<br />
<br />
In &quot;neutral third scale territory,&quot; the generators are all &quot;neutral thirds,&quot; and two of them make an approximation of the &quot;perfect fifth.&quot; Additionally, the L of the scale is somewhere around a &quot;whole tone&quot; and the s of the scale is somewhere around a &quot;neutral tone&quot;.<br />
<br />
In the as-yet unnamed northern territory, the generators are major thirds (including some very flat ones), and two generators are definitely sharp of a perfect fifth. L ranges from a &quot;supermajor second&quot; to a &quot;major third&quot; and s is a &quot;semitone&quot; or smaller.</body></html>
