22L 1s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 22 large steps and 1 small step, repeating every octave. 22L 1s is related to 1L 9s, expanding it by 13 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 52.2 ¢ to 54.5 ¢, or from 1145.5 ¢ to 1147.8 ¢. Scales of this form are always proper because there is only one small step. This scale is produced by stacking the interval of 33/32 (around 53 ¢).

The name quartismoid is proposed for this pattern since its harmonic entropy minimum corresponds to tempering out the quartisma—five 33/32s being equated with 7/6. In addition, both 22edo and 23edo, extreme ranges of the MOS temper out the quartisma, as well as a large portion of EDOs up to 100-200 which have this scale.

Tuning ranges

Mavila fifth and 91edo (Ultrasoft and supersoft)

Between 4\91 and 1\23, 13 steps amount to a pelog / mavila fifth, which corresponds to the ultrasoft step ratio range. In 91edo, the fifth produced by 13 steps of the quartismoid scale is the same as 4 steps of 7edo, and thus is the exact boundary between mavila and diatonic.

Diatonic fifth (hard of supersoft)

From 1\22 to 4\91, 13 steps amount to a diatonic fifth.

If the pure 33/32 is used as a generator, the resulting fifth is 692.54826 ¢, which puts it in the category around flattone.

700-cent, just, and superpyth fifths (step ratio 7:2 and harder)

In 156edo, the fifth becomes the 12edo 700 ¢ fifth. In 200edo, the fifth comes incredibly close to just, as the number 200 is a semiconvergent denominator to the approximation of log2(3/2).

When the step ratio is greater than 4.472, then 13 generators amount to a superpyth fifth and the tuning approaches 22edo.

Relation to other equal divisions

6 steps act as a pseudo-6/5, and when they actually act as 6/5 along with 5 steps being equal to 7/6, 385/384 is tempered out. If one were to instead tune in favour of 6/5 instead of 7/6, the resulting hardness would be around 1.233. 114edo and 137edo represent this the best.
