Equal tunings(edt)
4L 3s<3/1> (or electric) refers to a tritave-repeating MOS scale with four large steps and three small steps. It is generated by any interval between 1\4edt and 2\7edt.
Temperaments
4L 3s<3/1> MOS scales can be used for the Electra temperament, in which three generators down is approximately 13/11 and one generator up is approximately 15/11. If 11:13:15 is treated as the fundamental sonority of no-2's music, then Electra can be viewed as the analogue to meantone and 4L 3s<3/1> can be viewed as the analogue to the diatonic scale. If twos are admitted, the hard end of the Electra heptatonic spectrum can be viewed as the subharmonic version of Pythagorean/Classical tuning.
