4L 7s or mynatonic my-na-TON-ik /maɪnəˈtɒnɪk/ refers to the structure of MOS scales with generators ranging from 1\4edo (one degree of 4edo, 300¢) to 3\11edo (three degrees of 11edo, 327.27¢), representing approximate diatonic minor thirds (6/5). The name refers to the temperament that is one of the harmonic entropy minimums in this range (Myna), as well as being a pun on "minor third".

4L 7s has a heptatonic subset, which is the hard end of the spectrum of the smitonic scale (4L 3s).

Notation

The notation used in this article is LssLsLssLss = ABCDEFGHJKL unless specified otherwise. Chromas are represented by regular sharps and flats. Thus the 15edo gamut is as follows: A A#/Bb B C D D#/Eb E F F#/Gb G H K K#Lb K L A

Tuning ranges

Soft range

The soft range for tunings of mynatonic encompasses parasoft and hyposoft tunings. This implies step ratios smaller than 2/1, meaning a generator sharper than 4\15 = 320¢. This is the range associated with extensions of Orgone[7].

Hypohard

Hypohard tunings of mynatonic have step ratios between 2/1 and 3/1, implying a generator sharper than 5\19 = 315.79¢ and flatter than 4\15 = 320¢. This range represents of the harmonic entropy minimums, where 6 generators make a just diatonic fifth (3/2), an octave above.

Parahard

Parahard tunings of mynatonic have step ratios between 3/1 and 4/1, implying a generator sharper than 6\23 = 313.04¢ and flatter than 5\19 = 315.79¢.

Hyperhard

Hyperhard tunings of mynatonic have step ratios between 4/1 and 6/1, implying a generator sharper than 8\31 = 309.68¢ and flatter than 6\23 = 313.04¢. The eponymous temperament, Myna, resides here, as this is the range where 10 generators make a just diatonic fifth (3/2), two octaves above.
