7L 9s
7L 9s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 7 large steps and 9 small steps, repeating every octave. 7L 9s is a child scale of 7L 2s, expanding it by 7 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 675 ¢ to 685.7 ¢, or from 514.3 ¢ to 525 ¢. Most notable as the 16-tone Mavila scale. The entire range is suitable for mavila, but generators around 520 to 522 cents are perhaps "best".

Tuning spectrum
| Template: Scale tree is deprecated. Please use Template: MOS tuning spectrum instead.
Details: Use of a single Comments parameter has become unmaintainable. Existing scale trees should be migrated to the new template, where comments are entered using a step ratio p/q as a parameter: {{MOS tuning spectrum
