12L 1s, also called quasidozenal, is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 12 large steps and 1 small step, repeating every octave. 12L 1s is a great-grandchild scale of 1L 9s, expanding it by 3 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 92.3¢ to 100¢, or from 1100¢ to 1107.7¢. Scales of this form are always proper because there is only one small step.

Apparently, it belongs to no particularly important temperament. However, it becomes a compressed 12edo scale when you ignore the octave (this obviously does not work when the generator is very near 12edo (within -7/24 ¢ of it), for the 13th degree of the scale registers as identical to the octave for human listeners, and it becomes indistinct from 13edo or 1L 11s in the 1.75 ¢ above 1\13 because the large and small steps register as identical to one another for human listeners).
