12L 17s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 12 large steps and 17 small steps, repeating every octave. 12L 17s is a great-grandchild scale of 5L 2s, expanding it by 22 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 496.6 ¢ to 500 ¢, or from 700 ¢ to 703.4 ¢. Its chroma-positive generator is a near-perfect fourth of no more than 5\12 (500 ¢), and 53edo falls near the beginning of its boundary of "practicality" and its harmonic entropy minimum of exactly 4/3.
