4L 9s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 4 large steps and 9 small steps, repeating every octave. 4L 9s is a child scale of 4L 5s, expanding it by 4 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 276.9 ¢ to 300 ¢, or from 900 ¢ to 923.1 ¢. 4L 9s represents chromatic scales of Huxley, Lovecraft, gariberttet and subklei temperaments. The harmonic entropy minimum for this pattern maps +2, +3, and +5 bright generators to 7/5, 5/3 and 7/3, respectively.

Scale tree

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
| 3/2 = Example comment
| 4/3 = Another example comment
}}

The parameters tuning and depth have been replaced with Scale Signature and Depth, respectively.
