14L 3s

14L 3s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 14 large steps and 3 small steps, repeating every octave. 14L 3s is a great-grandchild scale of 3L 5s, expanding it by 9 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 423.5 ¢ to 428.6 ¢, or from 771.4 ¢ to 776.5 ¢.

This scale is associated with squares temperament because the number of generators it takes to get to each of the primes 3, 5 and 7 is a square (3=-4 generators, 5=-16, 7=-9).

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.
